Auctions turned up dozens of cars for me on the cheap.
1985 Honda accord $55.
Universal key switch and a battery and I was tooling down the road.
Actually my son was .That was 14 years ago and he drove it for 2 years then I drove it for a couple and sold it to a buddy and he drove it for some time and then sold it.
My Geo Metro would get 40 on it's best day and normally 36 MPG as I was heavy footed.
It was 2000 lbs with me in it and I loaded 1600 lbs of rock in it and drove 160 miles back home and the MPG was 35.
So 3600 lbs and 35 highway MPG in 4th gear not 5th as I lost speed in 5th. little 3 cylinder could not muster the power.
My 84 Ford would not get any less MPG empty or full.
Could be these vehicles had fuel mixed at the intake opening and tumbled through the manifold and at 3000 rpm velocity was very good.
That was the cruise speeds.
I like used vehicles.
