Welcome! I'd say if you have a 350 V8 that's turning 2,000 RPM @ 70 you're probably doing 18-20 MPG. Considering what the car is, I'd say that's pretty good.

At the time I owned it E10 was not mandated here, but "oxygenated" fuel was required in the winter. The mileage didn't drop as much with E10 because it was a carb with no o2 sensor.- The truck...
