14-16???  If that's "normal", then Christine must be the MPG queen!  She also has a 110/PG (185/80R13 tires) and around town with the top down, she gets 18-19 MPG.  And I don't baby the throttle.  On the highway with the top up she'll get 22-23 MPG.  She got 27 MPG in the econorun last year in Detroit, and that was without tweaking anything.  We just put the top and windows up and drove like a little old lady.  (Not from Pasadena!)

Normal reported for a PG 1100 vert is only 14-16  around  town....
 
Are the tires correct diameter for correct Odometer reading?  Wheel  aligment 
WAY out of specs?
 
Is the engine in proper Tune?   Dwell / Timing,  Carb  Jetting  Float levels?
 
Is your fuel pressure too high?
 
All these things are easily checked!

We have  a '66 converable, 110 powerglide. It is only getting 10 miles to the 
gallon. I  have rebuilt 1 carb, the other one seams ok and I think it needs a 
new  fuel pump.I can't see but a tiny bit of fuel in the site glass. Does  
anyone have any other ideas why she might be getting only 10 miles to the  
gallon. Thank you in advance, Joe
