Re: 199 MPG average?

[Jock J Jocewicz <namdra@xxxxxxxx>]

I can't remember what all this thread is about but noticed speedyjeeper
said - "whats your average miles per gallon achieved with your 199 or 232
I6?" - Back in November of 1969 I bought a new 70 Hornet SST with the 232
and reports around then that I had heard and read said the 232 was more
economical for the Hornet mainly because the 199 was under powered for
the weight of the vehicle and had to work harder to keep it propelled,
thus better mileage.
