Ken: No damn rosieness about it, my family have always kept precise fuel milage records. I rather doubt a 1957 Chevy 6 cylinder was ever considered a mussel car. We are getting no better fuel milage today than we were 50 years ago to move the same weight. The rosieness if any falls in that new 350 today getting 20 to 23 mpg. Bear in mind we may be talking 2 different gallons yet the same miles. Remember and Imperial gallon is 5 American quarts. Now, about my Buick it was about no Catilitic converter then adding a new one from GM. In my opinion every damn modern day gasoline powered car you follow down the road today stinks like hell. It used to be the diesels were the stinking engines, not any more. About CA and other large North American cities, I've been there and it's lack of OXYGEN not emissions doing you in. I have experienced noticable lack of oxygen 4 times in my life, once in a silo, once in a manure pit, once in Detroit rush hour and once in Toronto rush hour. Let me assure you, one never forgets the feeling. Truth is 99% of folks, experience it not realizing the cause.
