Typically, V8s of the '50s got 12-13 miles to a gallon. Caddys got as
much as 17. Remember the "Mobilegas Economy Run"? 20 mpg was
unheard-of for Detroit iron. Until the Falcon and Corvair. (OK. I'm
slighting the Nash Metropolitan.)

And of course the Nash Metropolitan used the same basic engine that is
installed in my MGA, albeit with a somewhat milder cam and only one
carburetor. The MG gets about 28 mpg if you can keep your foot out of
the throttle.
