Well, considering they haven't made those things in a coon's age it ought to get some respect for still being on the job. I still see them in the wild. Amazingly durable. Most that I recall speaking with say 20+ mpg is typical. Hell I've got enough horsepower to haul my camper 100 mph if I wanted to. But I've also got the horse-sense to keep it at 55. It may not be about struggling...
Cheers
