Re: Your thoughts about the gas mileage laws......post em here
Even the Japanese cars haven't advanced that much in mpg over the last 30 years. My 77 Accord Hatchback's 1.6 liter carbed engine got 38-40 mpg hwy and 35 mpg overall. My Dad kept impeccable records of mileage and gas receipts because he the car for business road trips. A brand new Accord with the fancy efi v-tec four banger doesn't get those numbers. Why? The Japanese didn't have the cheap gas prices we've had the last decade.
