Well then if gas keeps going up I guess it is time to break out the compact car.

My first brand new car was a 1970 Datsun 1200.   It was the same as the B210 but not as sporty and cheaper.         Brand new sticker price was $1,998.

I bought it because of the gas mileage.   Now I really don't care about gas mileage within reason.

I remember them vaguely.  Nothing has changed since then.  There is still just as much oil.  It's just the Arabs and the Oil Companies who are skalping us to get even richer than they already are.  I have seen some people starting to give up their SUV's for small cars again.  Quite frankly, it's probably what we need to get rid of some of those ridiculous trucks.  Get used to the prices.  They're here to stay.  The oil companies have been waiting for this for years.  Other countries pay at least as much as we are, or more, and have been for many years, now.

Here in England we are paying roughly 1 Pound to the Litre, im not sure what the exchange rate is, but i assume its about 1.5 dollers to the pound, and about 4 liters to the gallon, but im not sure, and we have far too many people driving around in SUV's, Trucks and pickups when they dont even need them, just women going to the gym or taking the kids to school and its a god damn annoyance, why do women drive these big stupid beasts?

im also curious, im thinking of buying a '69 charger, although i assume it will have to be imported from the states because of the small ammount over here and the rarity to fine a decent condition one for sale. what is the rough average MPG that a '69 440 charger R/T will do? and do they rust easily like most old cars?

Safe,
