Found the solution to rising gas prices

I was browsing the local craigslist and found an ad for a great economy car. According to this ad, I can get 55 MPG out of a '70 Spitfire. Does anyone see a problem with this?

Let's see who the first to pic up the other minor problem with the ad is.

Ah, all Triumphs migrated from England, or so I've heard.

don't know.. but if he/she is insinuating its a European market model, the steering wheel should be on the right? just a stab in the dark

55 mpg? I don't think so. Maybe if you found a cliff that is 55 miles high.

if you push it alot

Maybe he got the idea from this car;

I saw it for sale in Fyreburg, Me.

It's later than '70 ? Grill's below the bumper ?

Well....it might depend on the size of his gallon. Or he needs remidial math. ;^)

It could have been bought new by a US Serviceman, used over there and then shipped back Stateside. Many did. So could be LHD. Just a theory.

55 kilometers per gallon?

55km/gal=34mpg ??? still doesn't jive.

maybe it was supposed to be 55 mph

You have to factor in the oil leakage also. That brings down your overall petroleum usage per mile and enlarges your carbon footprint, especially if you step in the oil and track it in the house.

The pictures were either taken at different times or it two different cars.... note the wheels are red in one picture and black in another....
