MPG Good?

It is good, but the car could be doing in the low twenties.

A lot of variables involved, but well set up engines seem to be in the low twenties area.
 
No corn, it would have to be imported, 86 octane on base 86-92 off base.

I have to figure there are not many A's running around over there.

Spent some time in Japan in the early '70's, (flew some missions out of Yokota) never seen a single model A, let alone any older classics.
 
I don't track it...I just drive and enjoy it.
Currently making about 25 smiles a mile
I used to track it with my '28 Roadster (the tripometer made it easy). '28's gone and now the '31 doesn't have a tripometer??? So now I don't bother. Why would Henry do that?? :confused: $$$$?

Having spent some time in the Far East, I was wondering how you ever found a Model A in Japan? Or did you take it with you?
 
it is an import, cant find any numbers on it other than the engine and it is a nov. 1928 mfg. date the guy I got it from said its a 29 but not sure if 28 or 29.
lots of stop and go traffic here, signal lights about every kilo on average.
 
I was a little surprised at the 21.8 mpg I got covering the 4500 mile trip to the MAFCA convention. I had a new engine and ran a Marvel carburetor which I basically had turned all the way off on most highway driving conditions.
