That is why i loved my Road Runner somuch , Back then i DID NOT drive reasonable and out on the open road it would do almost 19 MPG , case in point here . My family had to go to Silver Spring Md. one weekend due to my one grandmother was dieing and all the family was coming in from all over the world for this. Mom and Dad and my two younger brothers were leaving at 8 in the morning and i had to go into work that friday morning to finish up a car that i was working on and promised it to the customer for the weekend. I let for work at 7 and was there at 7:30 and had the car done and road tested and out of the dealership at about ten . went home took a shower grabbed my bag went to the gas station and filled the Chicken with Sunoco 250 and set sail for the turn pike Got on the Ohio Pike at N. Lima and headed east at a vary high rate of speed. And almost in the blink of and eye i was getting my ticket for the Pa. pike . as i left the ticket booth i watched the speedometer sink out of sight in third gear and pulled her back into 4th and never looked back . Got off at Breezewood and pulled into the Sunoco station and filled the tank as i was just under 3/4 while i was checking the oil and the guy was cleaning my windsheild i happened to look across the street and setting at the Howard Johnson's wright in front was DAD's 68 YELLOW Impala and looking out the window was my youngest brother waving at me as they were having lunch ( i ignored him ) paid for the gas and got back into the Road Runner and down the road i went . Got to uncle Jack's greeted everyone there then my cousin Johnny and cousin Ann and i went into D C for and hour or so then came back just as Mom and Dad pulled in my drive time from home to Uncle Jack was 3 hours and 10 min. , Dads was 6 and a half. Dad's Impala avg. 17.6 MPG with his 282 two bbl. Road Chicken avg. was 18.8with 383 4 BBl . Now needless to say My Dad was no amused one tiny little bit, since Dad was and Ex Buckeye Bear. Plum loved that car , handled vary well had great stopping power with the 3x11 ft brakes and 2 3/4 x 11 back brakes had a super top speed and would run the quarter in 13.40's never ever got a speed ticket in it as they never could catch it.
