“The rich are unlike you and I,” my mom used to say. “They buy luxury cars that actually get good gas mileage.” Well, okay… my mom never said it exactly like that. But there’s a certain thrift in old money families that determines what a dollar is worth and how many miles need to wrung out of every gallon of fuel. The financially conservative have a little secret when they go shopping for a new car. They aren’t swayed by what passes for style, nor by the glitz of flashy technology. They go for the luxury car with the best mileage.
Ask most folks which luxury car gets the best gas mileage and they’re likely to draw a blank.
They might guess that it’s a new-fangled hybrid, but they’d be wrong, very wrong …
Do you know which luxury car gets the most miles per gallon?.

Feh. A 25-30 year old full size Buick sedan will get very near 30 mpg. Where is the progress from that to now is the REAL question.

It is not the 30 yr old Buick’s fault, it’s U. S. Government tampering
and environmentalist whacko thinking that makes cars of today quite
impractical.
I first encountered air-pollution controls on my 1968 Ford 6cyl. car
in the wide open spaces of west Texas. It got 30 mpg. Then at
30,000 miles, I had to have the head redone because the air
pollution control had burned up the valves by pumping the
exhaust air back into the head. Real progress???!!!
Broke the durn thing taking it off and could find no replacemenet
for it in Kansas City at the time, so bought some brass plugs and
filled in the 4 holes in the head and retimed the engine to run
without the air pollution control, and lo and behold it got 40
mpg,from 30,000 mi to end of car when traded it off.
I used to brag on that car, I don’t know what kind of carburetor
it had but musta been a humdinger.
