I used to drive nothing but Renault R-8's and R-10's and one of those
got a staggering 54 MPG, in the 60's and 70's. It can be done, so why
are all the car ads bragging about 28 MPG? Does nobody feel like their
intelligence is under rated by the marketing guys?
Even an American tank can get over 30 MPG if it is gear right.
My 1988 Mustang 5.0 got 33 MPG in cruise mode, due to the extra high
gearing I had.
I really feel insulted by some of the ads on television.
