If you plan to do it legally at least.

Not to drift too far off topic JSH, but do these same laws apply Federally to motorcycles and/or scooter? I have a project in the drafting stage and the NC DOT website is such a mess...

More germane to the topic though-I drove my late Granddad's 1989 Camry for about 3 months when my late '93 Festiva had her first trans rebuild (in 24 years ) and averaged between 25 and 28 MPG with roughly 50/50 combination of city and interstate driving at the speed limit-I can only assume that the '89 models were still in the 'midsize' category rather than the luxury? Or maybe I just lucked out...
