gas mileage

["Fred Thomas" <vafred@erols.com>]

O/K I know this subject is always coming up, since I changed to a elec. fuel
pump, my MPG has gone from 30/31 to 23/24, why should a elec. pump with
regulator effect me this much, all the same type driving, I have the
pressure set at 2 1/2lbs., stock H-6 carbs using SM needles, C/O testing on
dynamo shows 3%, elec. ign. new plugs/wires and cap, still no higher than
24. Any Ideas out there or this a ball park MPG anyway.  "FT"
