MPG Increace

There was a fella on Moparts some time back that did a rebuilt 318 w/KB zero deck Hyperutecic's (sp?) with a OD-833. He last reported 36 MPG's.
While I'm sure it wasn't a tire frier, this mileage experiment was a good one. He also left a few mods on the table. He had more in it.

And YES! Like said right above, carb float has an impact.
Amazing!

I would like to test that 36 claim myself. I bet maybe flat highway, 60 mph, probably tucked in behind a semi. I don't know why people can't just do a project like that and then run some honest "commute" situation mileage. I bet he's not even in the 30's, still good but no miracle.

I bet the Factory Five 818 can get some serious MPG if set up right. Needs a roof though. For those who don't know it's a 1800 pound kit car with WRX running gear minus AWD.
