Is that off topic far enough for ya??
Came home from a car show this afternoon and the bride tells me a 6th grader was referred to me by her boss. Turns out he is writing a report for school on fuel efficiency of old cars, compared to new ones. Since I own a 1922 Model T, I apparantly am now the expert on fuel efficiency for kids I never met.
The problem is, I have no idea what kind of mileage it gets. In the first place there is no speedometer or odometer. Secondly, mine has a 1939 V8 60, (how's that for an early small block?).
So.....my question for the panel is......Does anyone out there have any clue on what kind of mileage a stock T might get? I am guessing 20 mpg or so, since most cruised at 20 to 35 mph on those early roads, just putting along.
