Question:

I have an injected '75 Ascona sedan, bone stock (low compression engine) with 70,000 miles. Automatic tranny, no other options like AC, etc. It drives and runs like new. 165/80 tires at max pressure.

I do mostly highway cruising with this car, 55-65 mph. It routinely gets about 21 mpg, no better or worse, tank after tank. Does this seem about right for this breed of Opel? Anyone else keeping track?
