With the way I drive the 69 108 307 350 turbo trans about 15mpg, sure I could do better if I kept my foot out of it

I have two daily drivers, both I 6's, one is a 90" with a 292 and power glide, the other is a 108" with a 250 and 3 speed manual. I never get over 60 mph and the mpg on both is around 15. Doesn't seem to make much difference how you drive them.
