Cool My 280 get's worse mpg than..

small drum roll..

My 77 Buick Estate Wagon. I'm impressed with the amount of fuel the M110 can ingest and not be smoking or making anyones eyes water or anything. 14mpg combined, easy, driving.
Just under 16 over the same route, same week, in the 350/3spd Buick with god knows how many miles on it. Crazy. And I think the Buick is faster if you really lean on it.

Not that I don't still love the M110, and the W114 it's in. I hope the EFI get's it up to the high teens at least, but it's really kinda embarrassing when talking car stuff with the guys. It don't make a lot of power, and it don't get very good mpg. Gotta fix this!
