What is the gas mileage of a 1955 Ford Fairlane?

The gas mileage of a 1955 Ford Fairlane depends on the engine and transmission configuration. The base model came with a 223 cubic inch inline-six engine paired with a three-speed manual transmission, which achieved approximately 18-20 miles per gallon (mpg). With the optional 272 cubic inch V8 engine and three-speed automatic transmission, the fuel efficiency dropped to around 15-17 mpg. These numbers are based on modern estimates and may vary in real-world conditions.
