But all through the 70's, seems like mileage in the mid "teens" - or worse - was the best you could expect. But that was before the sloping hoods, the "contoured" headlights & front bumpers that were almost like quasi-air dams, the 4-speed overdrive transmissions, lock-up torque converters, fuel injection, etc, etc, etc....
Yeah, and then after all that great stuff, mileage was in the mid teens plus one. :/
