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!

(or until so cal traffic kicks in on the 91, 10, 210, 60, and every other freeway in so cal)

(or on a good day, when you can cruise at 110 lol)

so since the first thing happens alot more often, i have only done that well i think 2 times in the past 2 years

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.

Real surfers store them nose down in the passenger side with the skeg up...

Or, lay the board across the rollbar and windshield frame and have their passenger hang onto the board real gooooood.....

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.
