Gas mileage on CLASSIC CARS - How bad is it and can it be made better? Obviously there is a lot more weight with cars made in the 40s and 50s and engines of that period, particularly 6 cylinders, weren't nearly as economic on fuel. Call me crazy but that hasn't kept me from dreaming about owning a street rod even with today's gas prices! Is it JUST a dream or are there ways of getting 20+ MPG out of a classic cruiser? I can think of no other solution save one and so a follow-up question is: What is the feasibility (and cost) of engine replacement to achieve this ultimate goal? Wow, that's a lot of answers really FAST! You guys are great. Since there's been a lot of "depends on the car" comments, I'll add that I've been hunting down 52-54 Buick Specials & Supers specifically but not exclusively. There's a certain "evil" quality to the look of those cars from the front that makes me rub my hands together with a maniacal grin. --------- My soft spot is the transitional designs from 45 to 55 though like most I can't look at a 57 Ford or Chevy without getting drool on my shirt. I prefer the rounder fronts usually but for some reason I don't like Beetles at all. ((sorry VW fans, just not my thing))
