Since everyone and their brother seems to be reporting the fuel
consumption rates on their automobiles (and motorcycles), I guess
I might as well toss this in and see what happens:

Vehicle                      Best    Worst  Average   Comments
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*1967 Camaro 396/375 HP         6.1    0.8       5.2   Estimates.  Worst figure
                                                       acheived at dragstrip.

                                                       the city, great
                                                       (relatively) on hiway.
