Some of you may know my story. I acquired my '73 2.0 from my father. He kept everything. Been in the family since '74. I was digging through the old service records and found these ads torn from magazines. Enjoy!

QUOTE(Midtowner @ Mar 2 2008, 04:04 PM)  Gee, I don't get 29 mpg. Do you? I used to get far better than that! I had a 73 1.7 that I routinely got 45MPG with. Then on one trip I averaged over 50MPG with half the tank used at 45MPG. Now this was back in the 1970's on regular leaded gas of the day, with Imperial gallons that are 25% larger than the US gallon and standard tires. |

I remember a trip I took in my '73 2 liter back in the late 70's from Northern New Jersey to Lynchburg, VA. I did the entire trip (550 miles) on one tank of gas. I also remember racing some guy in a corvette going over 100mph and all of a sudden I blew a hole in one of the exhaust pipes on the Stebro exhaust system. Anyway, after all this I still got something like 38 mpg. |
