     Chris,
     
     Ask Dan Nees to calculate your fuel economy - he got me 15-18 mpg on 
     the highway (without A/C), and he did it all in his head! <g>

I recently put a new carb. on my '76 Scout with a 345 auto.  Starts great, 
runs great, drives perfect. . . BUT. . .gas mileage around town with the A/C 
on (a must here in the desert!) is running about 7 mpg.  I used to get 9 at a 
minimum.  It is in tune, and timing is good.  Does anyone have any 
suggestions?
     
Thanks,
     
Chris
