Angry Gas Milage

I've got an 85 Lincoln Towncar with a 302 v8 and it weighs approx. 4,000 lbs. Pretty Heavy. I seem to be getting about 12 miles to the canadian gallon in the city, is this somewhat standard compares to say an F150 with a 302. seems pretty thirsty.


Cheers,

PC

Hey PC, welcome to FTE.

Is there a difference between the Canadian gallon and the US gallon? US gallon is 64 ounces. 12 mpg in town isn't too bad for a car that size IMHO.

Ya know.......senility is an awful thing!!! LOL
Thanks for correcting my blunder John. The sad thing is my wife and I just had this conversation last week and I pointed out to her that a gallon was 128 ounces!

DOHHHHHHH
