I had a 1966 Ford Falcon with the 200 6 and A/T that regularly gave me 27 mpg without trying for FE on trips down the CA central valley. Same mileage with a '61 Corvair with A/T, 35 lb in rear and 20 in front to make it handle properly.
The best was my 1971 Datsun 4-speed 1200 sedan that consistently gave me 41-43 mpg, again without trying for FE. I wonder what a 1200 coupe would have done if driven decently, and with a few mods like radial tires, electric fan, etc.(couldn't do electric fan on the Corvair though).
