your right foot has alot to do with your gas mileage.... also, knowing when to be in certain gears makes a big difference

if you were a little closer to me I'd offer you mine for $750 with tires... No curb marks at all

but shipping to TX is probably gonna be a bitch

You've got a car that runs like **** is what you've got. Hell, i get almost 6mpg in mine and that is me driving like an idiot. I want go in to detail what i have engine wise, but it's much much more than what you have. That little 302 needs some help or you need to polish your math skills. Have you ever filled up, reset your trip meterand run it till it's about empty and refilled the tank? then of course you divide your mileage from that tank by how many gallon's you put in it.
