And what sort of factual evidence do you base this factual conclusion on Grahmam? You been buzzing around in the states in a bunch of chevys and fords lately? lemme give you my actual (as in experienced) recent results. I drove a Chevy (humoungous) Imapala recently from BH to Baltimore (450+ miles) and back and averaged over 30 mpg. This is a bohemoth sized car and I was completely astounded at the mileage. How? My guess i sth extremely high gearing and small displacement 6 cyl engine. -- -Fred W
