Hi all,

Does anyone know roughly how many miles to the gallon, I can expect to get out of my 1928 Chevy tourer

Thanks

I get between 15 and 18 mpg with my 1928 Canopy Express.

I usually cruise between 30 and 35 mph and use the throttle lever as a cruise control when possible.

Cheers, Dean

I generally get ~ 18 mpg on my '28 Coupe with a rebuiilt engine and fuel system. Don't get it everywhere like up a mountain unless I can coast down the other side.


How Sweet the roar of a Chevy four!
