Very impressed with gas mileage
I drove my 63 falcon 144, 3 speed manual, completely original except for tires from Irwindale drag strip to Tucson Az and back for the zip tie drags a few years ago. 2 people, loaded with tools and some spare parts and averaged 27.6 mpg for the whole trip, there and back. 988 miles interstate and a little driving around Tucson while there. I couldn’t believe it. For the next year I kept track of the mileage driving it semi daily back and forth to work and around town. All gps logged. For the year total average mileage was 24.1. Pretty good for an old POS ford sixer.
