I don't remember them being THAT bad, 70 mph notwithstanding.
I got around 20ish with my 283 V8 a/t equipped Nova- supposed to be 55mph but often was closer to 70.
Was their car messed up? |
I don't know. I wanted to "project" the Pinto's MPG at lower speeds, so I did this :
This is incorrect because I didn't give the Pinto an upward curve as the MPH lowered, I just kept it a straight line, parallel to the BMW 535i. However, I wanted to project on the side of lower MPG.
