I haven't noticed MPG declining. If so, maybe by very little. All my cars got 20-25 mpg. Lots of new cars get less than that.
Particularly hailworthy: 1967 Dodge Dart, 1990 Volvo 740. Both those cars deserved a funeral procession with brass band. -- I put 190K on the Dart with nothing but tuneups, oil changes, and break jobs. I would probably have it still, but it got stolen and stripped at 190K. It was like somebody raped my granmother. -- I put 250K on the Volvo with just maintenance, a new radiator, and a new fuel pump. Then my daughter crashed it. It still drove itself home and drove itself to the junk yard. Volvos commit suicide so that you can walk away. One hour after she crashed it, my daughter was dancing in a performance at her HS.

Older models also polluted more per mile. -- Jim Devine / If you're going to support the lesser of two evils, you should at least know the nature of that evil. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
