I like it!

Jim, I really like your out of box thinking. It's occurred to me many times in the past. My 1968 Impala convertable got 19 mpg hwy with the top down at 75 mph. It seems that there should have been more progress made in the last 40 years.

My only cautions are 1)Remember there used to be lead in gasoline, so watch part interchanges, and 2) Remember that "regular" gasoline was between 92 and 95 octane back then, thus offering a bit more bang for the buck.

Please keep us posted....
