From the web page you quoted:

Your definition of "decent" mileage must be pretty generous :-)

You must be one of those young whipper snappers g
I very well remember back in the late 50's early 60's 13 to 14 was not bad
some of the guys in HS were driving chevy's with 4.56:1 and 6.17:1 rear
ends that were lucky to get 6 mpg. Back then the best economy cars were
luck to get 20!

They must have had engines that were sorely out of tune. I put 4.56
gears in my 94 Chevy K1500 to help it plow snow better. I get 16 MPG
with it on the highway and get 10 plowing snow! I can't believe a car
would get down to only 6 MPG unless it was running at the drag strip all
day. :-)
