That’s very respectable fuel mileage. Your engine is obviously in a good state of tune and everything is working properly. Tuned by all of the great info on this site by some very intelligent people Carl

Congrats, Carl.
Can you clarify what is MATV? Don't recognize it as on our cable line-up.

Drove the 56 to a car show in Lima Ohio last sunday.MATV was there filming a few cars and the picked our car for a feature car.Took a lot of video and did a short interview ,lucky I had my y blocks forever t shirt on. Suppose to air sometime this fall,and the old crown did get a award.Around 350 cars there.90 degrees driving back,and car never went above 190.
