That's quite good for the V-4 Saabs.
I think one of the best battles will be between Bruce Turk's 1958 Saab 93B and Bill Clark's 1957 Metropolitan hard top. Bill got 37.86 mpg with his similar '60 Met convert last October and Bruce predicts that he will be in the 35 to 40 mpg range with his 750cc 2-stroker.
Neither of these guys are serious hypermilers, else they'd be shooting for 50 mpg!
But I love the classic economy cars.
