Back in 1988 I bought a new Pontiac Grand Am with the quad 4 engine and 5 speed. It was getting 40 MPG on the highway at 75 MPH. But I did do a few minor modifications to the engine and suspension. At the same time a friend of mine bought the newest Volvo wagon for almost twice the price and he didnt get anything near the gas mileage I got. But I do not think my Pontiac would get anywhere near the same mileage now because of the new formula gas we have. And the gas is going to get worse. At least we are sucking clean air into our lungs.
