i gotta agree that the 1950"s and 1960"s era cars were big and comfortable. however, i don"t think i ever saw a car from that era that got more than 15-16 mpg and that was considered excellent. although, i did own a 1968 mercury cougar that got a whopping 19 mpg......once. even a volkswagen that got 18-20 mpg was doing really great. only thing i like about today"s fuel injection is no warm up time... just start up and go and no stalling out, but performance is just NOT on the par with the older autos. ah, the days when detroit built them big 420 hp v-8 engines that would really guzzle the gas. maybe get 2-5 mpg, if that much. i guess that"s why we are paying the price for our foolishness now.
