Re: IML: My Imperial Dilemma

["JIM LORENZEN" <jdlpdx@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

When I was using my '60 as a daily driver the intown mileage was between 7 - 
10, depending on how much "Stop Light Grand Prix"ing I did.  On the Freeway 
at between 70 and 75mph I got around 19 - 20 mpg.  Once you get all the 
weight rolling.......
