Small block mileage

Factory 360 4bl(tired)n my 84 Prospector from Unity Saskatchewan to home in Ontario approx 3300 kms/2000 miles averaged just this side of horrific...around 12-14 mpg...
I would love to get that much out of my '78 W250 360 4bbl 727 Prospector. I'm lucky to get 9MPG! :mad:When I pulled an enclosed car trailer, I got 6MPG! :wtf: About the only mod is a Holley carb. I'm thinking of going back to a stock TQ and see if that helps any. It's a fairly fresh rebuild with all stock internals and heads for that year, and an RV cam that is supposed to be good for mileage. How much worse would a performance cam have been? Jeeezz....
