73 Dart /6 MPG

It's not out of bounds. You'll get people claiming they got 26 mpg all day every day in their Slant-6 Dart uphill both ways in the snow with the A/C on -- those stories are mostly a mix of rosy memories and fast odometers. Your mileage will improve as you keep tuning and improving the car.

I agree! Valve adjustment, wheel bearings, brake job and maybe a coat of wax! ;-)
