Ummm, I didn't see anyone qualify that they were NOT talking about the larger of the two gallons so I can only assume that they are talking about the one I am most familiar with. If this is not the case, simply stating which gallon one is referring to might be in order. ;-) Please quote this message in your reply. Otherwise I will be unable to reply to your message.

Back in 89 drove a 69 Charger with a brand new rebuilt 440 to the Nats from VA, drage raced it a couple of times, drove to and from the motel on Brice and then home. 19 MPG. Didn't have highway gears but 2.94s or 3.23s I think. Coverversely a buddy who drove a 318 Challenger I also owned got but 18 with no racing. 440s can get good mileage.

I have checked it on several occassions and yes I have checked the speed/mileage with a newer car following me. This has been one of the best 440s I have owned. Its not a high mileage car so maybe that has something to do with it. I did replace the original Holley with a Carter. I once owned a 76 New Yorker which also got me in the 17 mpg range on the highway. A friend has a 77 T&C wagon which has been converted from lean burn to a Mopar performance ignition and that big girl gets 16 mpg. Worst 440 I had for mileage was my 75 Imperial. That thing got 10 mpg no matter if it was in the city or on the highway. Happy motoring.
