-> RW> right...Who ever put the idea in your head that 4bbl RW> carbs
-> will be hard on gas?
-> Because it is like 4 times as much gas as a 1 barrel carb and my
-> friends parents used to have a 67 camero and it had 2 four barrel
-> carbs and when they kicked in in full force, you could see the gas
-> gauge going down slowly but you could sse it.  THat is burning gas
-> quick.
I don't know how, exactly, you drive, but I know that I don't keep my
foot in the throttle enough to open up the secondaries.  If you think
that a four barrel is hard on gas, then what about one of the old
six-pack mopars?  three two barrels...hmm...as you stated, that would be
SIX TIMES the gas flow!!  EXCEPT for the fact that it runs off of only a
single two barrel until you hit the throttle!
