Agree! Always wondered about these MPG threads. I've had my car well over 30 yrs with a couple combos in it. Currently a 470" low deck w/solid roller cam 4 spd 3:73 gears....never once have I thought about MPG...Doesn't matter, I put maybe 1000 mi /yr on it. Plenty of smiles though. I've had people ask about mileage in my pickup as well....I always tell them it weighs 6000 lbs and has the aerodynamics of a brick....I bought it for a purpose,not fuel economy!
