Today, I finally got a chance to take the 56J out for 175 miles gas mileage check. The trip was about 20 percent rural roads, and 80 percent Interstate. and speed was 70-75 on the interstate. The car got 17 3/4 MPG. On the same trip, which I have made many times, the same car woulda got around 20 MPG, with the AFB/Edelbrock. So gas mileage is down about 10-11 percent with the Demon.
Considering how well the Demon does everything so far, I am not gonna try to squeeze a bit more MPG out of it. Everything is a trade off, and I do not want to mess with an excellent performing carb. Will just have to spring for the extra bucks for gas.
