25mpg.
Same as the Model T.

I won't question your 'intake'. But I will question the Model T reference. It is simply a myth.
Try about half that. 10-12 mpg. I am reasonably familiar with these cars and their engines, they simply aren't efficient enough to get that mileage.
Confirmed by a co-worker (who owns four) and here:

Add to that, the gas available 'in the day' was crap, mileage back then would have been worse, not better.
