One way would be driving on a So cal freeway, I can be doing 75 and still be passed like I'm standing still.

I think the funniest thing is being able to pace traffic at 80+ with an old Volvo and see looks of disbelief.

In my 73 145 with the B20F and M40 I was getting around 20MPG around town and 25-28 on the highway running Dracos with 195/60R15

With the T5 I've been getting closer to 32-35 on the highway thanks to the .68 OD. Around town is the same because 1st through 4th are nearly identical gears.
