Re: Increase in gas milage

In the early '70s after the gas crisis you could buy nice comfortable fullsize American cars for a couple hundred dollars. The owners were casting them off to squeeze into Japanese econoboxes that replacement parts cost 4x as much as the American cars. All to save money at the pump and make car payments while we drove cars that cost what one of those payments was, but took more gas to run.
