GuitarMan,

I got your back Bro, go you to it. The neighbors do not know a thing about hot rods so just tell them anything, they won't know the difference.

You may recall I once had an old Plymouth that got 100 MPG. It had a one-of-a-kind, ElectraGrand carb. We were able to document the mileage easy enough because driving for mileage required careful and modest driving.

I know for sure the top end power and speed were also impressive but the roads and tires of our area never allowed a full out test run.

I once heard stories of a testing area in South Texas near Phalfurious but I never got enough money together to attend those trials. Stories are told about some early pioneers of Bonneville testing there.
