On the trip to Long Beach we covered a total of 3641 miles. Our gas consumption record was not kept too accurately so I am unable to figure the miles per gallon.

The trip home to the door covered 4128 miles so that the total trip both ways covered 7769 miles plus 464 miles gallivanting on tours etc. from Long Beach a grand total of 8233 miles.

Total gas consumed trip home  4128 mi  2424 gals
total Cost gas $79.90
Av. Miles per Gallon -- Ethyl  17.03
Cost per Gallon varied from a low of 27.9 in Boston to a high of 38c per gallon

Have in mind the average of 17.03 miles covered mountain climbing as well as flat country - generally at an average speed of from 55 to 60 miles per hour.

Don't really know if this can be considered good mileage or not for a 1953 6 cyl. Ford.
