Remember the Mobil Economy Runs
Do you older readers remember the Mobil Economy runs.
I was taking a trip down memory lane and I went to an AMC website and they were referring to the Mobil Economy Runs. I copied this:
"In the 1964 run, a 6-cylinder Rambler American 440 sedan averaged 27.8336 miles per US gallon (8.4507 L/100 km; 33.4268 mpg‑imp); once again, the best of all the cars that year" This was a 2000 mile cross country event.
I bought a used 67 Rambler American 220 from my dad when I got out of the service in 1970. It was a 199 cubic inch six with three speed on the column, bench seat, no air, manual windows, steering and brakes. If I recall, it was one of the last with vacuum windshield wipers. On the highway it got about 25 mpg when I drove it from Ft Dix, NJ to Columbus, Oh. It was a true economy car for the times.
Fast forward a lot of years and our 08 Odyssey gets that kind of highway mileage from a much bigger vehicle with safety additions, better handling, brakes, ride, quieter, audio/video...
