Up to 75 wad D-jet, 76 and up was CIS. The older ones has way more
power and as the years went by the power just kept going down for
emmisions. By 1980 I think it was down to around 160hp or so. But, the
80's were capable or around 17mpg or so. Todd Knutson is the expert on
these things.
I think he is reading the GROSS weight on the door tag, which means
fully loaded with cargo and people.
