“Why not give people a more useful yard stick with which to compare vehicles

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

1970 Cadillac Sedan Deville, 4 door, 500 cu. in., loaded pulling 6X12 tandem trailer packed full. 17 mpg at 70 mph.

Best mileage I have ever experienced.

I am guessing that you were long hauling on flat interstate highways.

But that was probably the best engine GM had ever made.

A friend of mine’s dad had an Eldorado with the 500 in it. Having that car burn rubber with the front wheels was quite a sight.

His dad was a little naive to let him borrow that car.
