I just got 23mpg on a 3 hour drive to N.J averaging 80 mph with 3.73 gears, I used to get 20mpg as best but now got T-5Z with .63 5th gear, new S.S fuel lines and new tank and pump, I was shocked

I got 22 (With an odometer which is not exactly right, but close neough for government work) drivnig back from Boston to VA going from 60-110 depending on what the radar detector said. Driving to Caharlotte this wekend wih the new GPS unit which measures distance within 5 meters, so I might be able to get a more accuract reading.
