Thank you for the info on the board at forwardlook! I will go there next. I use to have a 1955 Chrysler New Yorker, with a 331, 4 barrel, automatic, and I was getting pretty good gas mileage. We drove it from San Diego to New Orleans and back, 14 years ago, and used it as a daily car. Recently, I bought this car with the smaller engine and mistakingly thought I wouldn't have to worry about gas mileage and planned to ride it around town often, but it's killing me at the pump. Since I only had this car a month, I wanted to see if the mpg I was getting was correct. If not, then I would research the problem. This car is in mint condition, all original, pristine paint and chrome. Is there anything I can do to improve the gas mileage while staying true to the originality of the car? Thanks again for your help. =)

I recently purchased a 1955 Chrysler Windsor Deluxe, 4 door. I was wondering if anyone can tell me if getting 9 miles per gallon sounds right for this car? Thank you for any information you can give me.
