With a car and an engine that size, anything over like 12 is respectable. I'd be dancing in the streets if my old cars got 20mpg. For the stone-age technology the old V8's had, the fact they could get mid teens hooked to a 3 speed in a 4000lb land barge puts new technology to shame. Nothing like being able to light 'em up when you want to either ... I'd guess most of the guys aren't driving em for commuters anyways
