What sort of Chevy Impala did you ever have that got 25 MPG? I had a 58 Del Ray with the 235 six and three-speed stick and it was a stretch to get 18 MPG with it on a long cruise. My 60 Biscayne with the same 235 six and a Powerglide was worse. My 65 Bel Air with a 283 and Powerglide got 14 MPG on the highway. In 1959, I went with my father to buy a new Ford that was advertised as their best fuel mileage car. Two-door 59 Business Coupe with three-speed stick, and the "Milemaker 223" six-cylinder engine. NO options - not radio, no power steering, no electric windshield wipers, etc. On a long trip on the highway, never exceeding 60 MPH it got 20 MPG. The best fuel-mileage I ever saw with a true 60s American car was the 1960 Ford Falcon. With the small six and stick it could get 30 MPG which is pretty impressive.
