<VV> MPG Hystery

[Mike Kost]

Back in the late 70's and early 80's when I was driving my `68 140/4sp 
as a daily driver, it was not unusual for me to get about 25 MPG running 
70 MPH (or more) on the highway. I never have gotten much more than 12 
around town because I can't keep my foot out of it. I have been one of 
those who has gotten "unbelievable" mileage on the CORSA econorun using 
higher pressures and larger rear tires (my normal street rear tires are 
slightly larger than stock).
