So the doc is right. I am proof!

32 mpg per US gallon equates to 40 mpg with the imperial gallon used here in Canada. I think that the Chrysler label should come off and a VW label stuck on it.

The best figures I ever got was on three tank fulls that included going to and returning from Woodward and that was just over 32 mpg.
These cars are free rollers with the tires pumped up, so who knows what's possible, an economy run just isn't in the books for most of us though.

Stabbing at the gas pedal sucks up gas, and gains very little on the highway, rolling on the gas in traffic is far more efficient but not so much fun.
