Default POOR 2.5L MPG

its an 85 4speed, just rebuilt 400 miles ago,

i have a vac leak in my brake booster that causes rough idle until brakes are pressed, could this be causing me to get super poor MPG?

I am getting around 10mpg taking it very easy on it ..... keep it under 55 and i take off slow.

you arent going to see good mileage till the engine is broken in and 400 miles isnt even close
