i get pretty crappy mileage, somewhere roughly between 10 and 12, check your wiring ony our gauge, there may be a weak link in there somewhere.

make sure ur fuses are good and they are making a good connection...that is usually the problem. I get much better then 10-12...i average probably 20mpg and it should get more because I am running rich. I have stock everthing without the smog.

I usually get around town between 15-20. On the open road I can get as high as 28. Not bad considering the truck has a bizzilion miles on it.

When I still had the Hitachi on, I consistently got 18 mpg on the highway. I have still to figure out what I get with the Weber.

My 77 2wd runs 23-27, right around 20 if I only drive in town for an entire tank. My 79 4x4 sits at about 20 rain or shine, city or highway, mud and snow. When I had a weber on it, I would get 22 or 23 out of it on the highway.
