<VV> 23 MPG at 75 MPH

[Mikeamauro at aol.com]

Just returned from my semiannual trip to the Florida Keys; logged about 900 
 miles... engine consumed about a pint of oil, and I averaged 23 MPG while 
on  I-75. While on the interstate I cruised at 70-80 MPH. I did not 
calculate  my fuel consumption at slower speeds (i.e.: 45-50 MPH), but previously  
this "sweet spot" speed has netted about 27 MPG with this factory air, PG 
late  model 110 coupe. I'm thinking this is not to shabby for a 40-something  
red-haired stepchild of a car. 
 
Last trip to Keys, the 64 Greenbrier Deluxe, 110 PG (also with AC) did  
about 20 MPH.
