“And it was a cranky, too.”

Yeah :) And, when calculating Model T mpg, one should discount the many miles it was pushed to get to a true net number. However, the Model T did have one advantage that today’s cars don’t have; due to it’s engine’s low compression it would run on kerosene which was a handy feature. Gas stations were still few and far between but virtually every general mercantile store sold kerosene (or coal oil as the old folks called it).
