Help! Im almost considering SELLING my baby! 120-130


I live in Eureka CA, way up near the Oregon border, and Im paying 4.27/g
for gas. I just cant do it any longer. I absolutely have to improve my
mileage, or my gorgeous 65 122s is going to have to go on the auction block.

Ive done quite a few things; Ive got electronic ignition via a MSD ignition
kit, a dizzy off of a 75 240, I try and keep my carbs clean and in tune,
I drive like an old lady, and I *still* am getting unacceptable mileage.

Keep in mind what was acceptable last year isnt acceptable this year.

I need help! the vast majority of my driving is in town, so my lack of
a 5th gear/overdrive gear isnt going to be my major issue. Any advice?
