*sigh*....

Y'know, they talk about How They're Getting More Miles Per Gallon... in
'07, I saw billboards saying how the (downsized from the nineties)
Corolla got 35 MPG.

My Dearly Departed Beloved Toyota Tercel wagon, 1986, bought in '88
used, with a *carburetor*,  in 2000 or 2001, before it died, when I
tuned it up, was still getting 35-36 mpg. And for some obscure reason,
our 2005 Jetta wagon, same size about, fuel injected, computer
controlled, etc, gets, if we're lucky, 31 mpg....
