I get about 30 mpg in my '80 245 DL. B21F with an M-46.

Mostly all highway driving (I'd say about 90%), but a bit of city here and there. Speed rarely exceeds 55 mph. (We still have 55 mph speed limits here in Oregon).

I use high quality gas (Chevron, locally). That cheap stuff really brings the
number down.

Most recently it's been a lot of long trips. On a trip from Portland to Seattle it got 36 miles per gallon. In the past 3 days I've put 800 miles on the car alone.
