Gene Roe of Cortland was prompted to write by my skepticism concerning
the claim of a 100-mpg Cadillac.
Roe says cars have slipped through production lines (by accident,
I believe he means) with carburetors that enabled them to get high mileage (61.4 mpg
for a huge Chrysler engine when the car was going 70 mph).
Others wrote to insist on similar claims, and no one had any proof.
I won't argue with anybody on the subject; I have an open mind.
All anybody has to do to prove the existence of
a 67.4-mpg Chrysler V8 or a 100-mpg Cadillac or a 200-mpg Subaru
is to let me drive it over a standard course.
Any takers?
1997 note: No one ever showed up at my door in a 100-mpg Cadillac.)
