On the way back, almost home, we talked about how many miles we had gone and how many states we had driven through and thought it was very interesting.  Hopefully, you will too.

The total trip was about 7,400 miles – I have to give you an ‘about’ number because the odometer is over counting miles by about 10% due to the 4.55 final drive and no speedometer adjustment for it.  We had driven through 22 states counting Arizona and two Canadian Provinces.   We used 1110 gallons of gas for an average of 6.6 mpg for the trip.  We paid an average of $2.86 per gallon with a high of about $3.78 (US) per gallon (99.9 – 103.9 per liter) in Canada and $2.47 per gallon in Arkadelphia, Arkansas.

I wish the mileage was better but I don’t know how to fix it.  I have installed a Springfield Ignition (Dick Paterson) carburetor and distributor and it is timed correctly.  It has a rebuilt by Manny transmission.
