Transmission quandry.

Transmission quandry.
I have a 66 Mustang coupe that I picked up in the US last fall, it has a 289 in it with a 2 speed automatic. I don't know dick all about cars or transmissions but I was told that by putting a three speed automatic in it it'll probably wil improve my mileage a fair bit. ( the car is just for cruising, not for racing). My question is would it be worthwile doing, taking into consideration the way the price of gas is going. I already put bigger tires on, replaced the carb and the rear end. If I was going to change the tranny what model should I be looking for and how do you know you're getting a good one. The 2 speed was rebuilt in the states when I picked it up, cost me over 1200 US so I could probably try to sell it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

It should not have a 2 speed automatic in it. It would have a C4 3 speed with the green dot shifter. This is different than the later shift patterns.
You are likely putting it the wrong detent and taking off in second.
