the 30s is quite amazing...it must have a tall transmission to go with it.
take it back to the dawn of v8s, and slap in the same ratios, imperfect oil, bad gas, leaky carbs on a tight downdraft...
it would be right there with the same freakin numbers, and even better because of realtime function.
do not focus on the car brand in other words, as some superhero.
step one into hypermiling...  |
As they say in the rodeo
Ya dance with who brung ya
My first car in 1975 was a 1966 mustang, baby blue, 200ci i-6, 3 speed automatic, 2.89 rear end. I installed a trip computer that I bought from JC Witthey...it tracked mpg!! I used to get 27+mpg at 70mph (no a/c
)
I just like going against the flow. All the Q45 sites are about speed....I
m about mpg
The rearend ratio is 2.76 and the transmission is a 5 speed automatic w/ OD.
I'll see if I can find the last gear ratio.
