my odometer and fuel gauge aren't working , i top off the tank up every time i take it out. I am just wondering what the average MPG from the factory was for the 1968 300 c body with the 440 4bbl carb...

Heh! depends on the weight of your foot!
On the highway, between 12 and about 16 mpg is normal. Some cars with very good tuning etc can get as high as 18 to 20 mpg.
In the city, 8 to 10 mpg
Lead foot, about 4 to 6 mpg! !thumb
Your best power and mileage will be in the evening when the air cools right after a rain storm. The worst will be in winter when the air is very dry and cold.
You really need to fix the gas guage - or carry a 5 gal gas can in the trunk! !stars
