I think you may all be a little rosy in your memories of gas
mileage. Remember too y'all were burning sunoco super 104
octane in a muscle car with 10:1 compression and spewing lead
out all over. That is a huge change to what we can burn now. A mid 70's 4wd pickup with a say stock truck type 350 in it and
a 4 barrel and no emissions gets about 12 miles to the gallon,
maybe as high as 15 if you are super gentle. A current 4wd pickup with similar power as the 350 gets at least
20 mpg and maybe as good as 23 all while polluting about 10
times less. Pollution isn't a made up thing, ask californians and removing a
catylitic convertor off a modern car will not improve gas mileage
unless it is clogged up near solid. I hate trouble shooting old cars with broken emissions stuff too
but it does a job. Drive behind someone with out a cat and you
smell it immediately, that stuff ain't good for noone.
