By now, I'd expect there are few carbureted vehicles but there are some and they deserve higher mileage too, particularly because the people who are driving them are likely the same people who can't afford a newer vehicle and/or those people who really like their vehicle and don't want to give it up.
Personally, the only reason my wife now has an Aveo is that I didn't have time/energy to put air conditioning on the 1984 Honda Civic. She has a health issue which gets serious if she gets too hot.

My wife's car is my only current 'driver' daily or otherwise. I WILL get mileage data posted on it as I get time. I only fuel it once or twice a month so it'll take awhile. I'm just getting used to this website and I haven't checked if I can enter 'past' data into the record.

I truly wish that were true, but I'm sorry to say you looked at the wrong Eagle Research. I had no idea Manta existed until you referred to it. I checked it out and
this is me.

If I respond to this am I 'defending myself?' Yes to all the above.
And I will provide mileage records as they happen. I'm currently only driving the Aveo which, as I explained before, totally unmodified. I will explain the fight I've had with Chevy to get it up to 'reasonable' mileage; so I can then improve upon it. I see absolutely no reason I can't double its mileage once my wife allows me to work on it and I get the time.
