318 is a very good motor and easy on gas. There, I got it out of my system ...
Last time I figured it was about 22 mpg. It is all stock 2bbl Carter and highway gears.What kind of mileage have you been getting?

I think mine takes more than that but still it's hard to fill. It may have to do with the new pumps and their shut off sensors. Also the filler being at the same level as the top of the tank. I put my ear down and listen as it is getting near full and try to trickle the last bit in. I'd be cautious about putting too much in because if you get a sudden temperature rise gas will spill back out. Don't ask me how I know.Same here (rebuilt original carb) yet on the first 100 miles I put on the car after its refurb I got something like 12 mpg only. The idle was set too high, so I will see how it goes this weekend after adjustment.
In related matters, do you sometimes have issues filling the tank up? Mine does not seem to take more than about 11-11 gallons.
