Since everyone and their brother seems to be reporting the fuel
consumption rates on their automobiles (and motorcycles), I guess
I might as well toss this in and see what happens:

Vehicle                      Best    Worst  Average   Comments
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*1967 Camaro 396/375 HP         6.1    0.8       5.2   Estimates.  Worst figure
                                                       acheived at dragstrip.

*1967 Firebird 400/325 HP      13.9    7.2      11     2.80 gears - rotten in
                                                       the city, great
                                                       (relatively) on hiway.

*1969 Camaro Z/28 302/290?HP   13.1    4.8       9.1   City driving really sucks
                                                       up the gas here.

 1968 Impala, Warm 327         17.5    8.6      12.6   I had this car during the
                                                       gas crunch, and drove it
                                                       >50 mi. round trip to
                                                       work.  EXPENSIVE!
