Pre computer era high mpg cars
Curious as to what the top mpg cars were before modern cars went to fuel injection and computers. I've heard some 'stories' about some of these old high mpg cars but never knew anyone who had one.
One example that comes to mind are the mid 70's Plymouth Feather Duster and Dodge Dart Lite with carb'd slant sixes that were advertised around 35-36 mpg highway. Now by todays standards the Duster/Dart are fullsize cars and they could seat up to 6 adults. Not sure if they really got that kind of mpgs but if they did that seems impressive by todays standards for a carb'd engine with no computers at all.
