I'm old enough to remember the Cretaceous Period.

The manufacturers were quite proud of their cars.

Runs like this were replaced by the EPA's MPG modelling (which I don't believe to be all that accurate).

The economy runs could be brought back running on speedways instead of normal highways. Figure a track like Talledega only gets used maybe four or five weeks a year. Plenty o'time lying dormant good for MPG runs.
