My commute is made bearable by the ‘38 Opel Kadett that I drive. At 6.9 MPG it is not the most fuel efficient vehicle (suck it greens!), but at 1.2m miles the I4 and 3 speed manual [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] transmission are rock solid. |
You'll improve your MPG if you patch that pesky hole in your fuel line. The '70 El Dorado with the 500 CID engine made better mileage than that. Some 5 axle trucks can manage that (aero-cab turbo inline 6's, etc). Yes I know your post isn't likely serious and now I'm nostalgic for 2.5 MPG 12v71 two stroke big rigs and the sound they made.

Good commuter car is anything with a soft ride and comfy seats. Not many cars fit the bill anymore, the modern fashion seems to be for rock-hard suspensions and cramped claustrophobic interiors designed for short people.
