Just a little reaffirmation (is that a word?) I get 17 mpg also with my 318 4 barrell. Just ran across records from a trip I took with it from Wisconsin to Kansas City a couple years ago.

Jeremy,
Sometimes the most simple methods are also the most efficient. The mystery is finally solved: On Saturday I drove my Fury to warm the engine up. Then I removed the spark plugs and measured the compression. The gage showed 125 psi. Then I put some oil into the combustion chamber and the gage showed 150 psi. No further commends are necessary – sever blow by.

John – 17 mpg is good average. Thanks!

Stefan
