Regarding gas mileage:

1980 Saab Turbo (3 door)

	22-25 city
	30-33 highway (at 60 -65 mph)
	26.4	highway (at 90 mph avg, at 2 am)

1983 Saab Turbo (3 door)

	23-26 city
	30-32 highway (at 60-65 mph)

1962 Ford Falcon Van  (160 cu in engine, 3 speed manual)

	lowest 11 mpg (leaky fuel pump)
	city avg 17 mpg
	highway avg 21 mpg
	highest 28.7 mpg (avg 50 mph on I-5 in spring fog)

By the way, the old Ford Falcon Van has 210,000+ miles on it,
and is still running. My father uses it to haul wood and trash,
mostly. It survived 4 transcontinental round trips, 5 excursions
into the wilds of western Canada, and the worst test of all,
4 yrs in Boston, Mass!
