Who is BS'ing who?

You can decent mileage with the right combo of parts. Call it BS if you want to..

People getting good fuel mileage can because of today's technology- mostly EFI and OD transmissions. That stuff costs money though...

People getting decent mileage using old school technology have a well thought out combo and know how to tune it. My buddies '74 Duster with a 318 got an easy 20mpg(hwy) when he first got it done. Stock bottom end and heads, headers, Edelbrock Performer and Performer 600 carb, 429/444 (340 spec) Wolverine Blue Racer cam, 904 auto and 2.76 gears. I've rode it many times and I don't care who says BS about it...

I am 29 and drive a '65 Newport Coupe with a mild 400, 727 and 8.75 (2.76 gears). It gets about 15mpg average. I drive it to college daily and I still say it's much much cheaper than making a car payment. I know a chick making a $372 monthly payment for her Ford Focus because it gets good gas mileage. The he// with that..I can buy a lot of gas for $372.

I will never understand making a huge monthly payment to get mileage. That's just me though...
