My little '72 Pinto probably got 25-27, but had the excellent 2-liter engine, 4-speed, disks, Sears A/C, and carbureted.

I was so impressed with a quick run through the dealer's parking lot, I bought it within minutes. 'Cost $1 a pound, and weighed 2000 pounds.

Accustomed today with a 25-MPG small Nissan pickup, I'll be looking for a '72 Pinto/Bobcat wagon at the auctions. ;)
