30 miles a gallon?? I assume y'all had the imperial gallon, which was 25% bigger than ours, but still. Were your miles shorter?

 

I had a Fairlane, which is a Falcon with a better trim job. 170 6 cylinder, 1 barrel, three on the tree. I got 16 miles a gallon. Using an imperial gallon, that would have gotten me 20.

My first car was a '61 Falcon 2 door!

Two door, 4 door, I think there was even a station wagon, and it was the basis of the Ranchero, too.

Yes there was. And the Mercury version - the Comet - was also available all three ways.

[Rip Snorter]

Had a Comet Convertible with the 390, not bad at all and quickish.

[Eyesa Horg]

Also had a 64 Falcon convertible. Unfortunately, both were six cyl. The 61 was 3 on the tree, the 64 was auto and in those days you could just go to a junk yard for parts. So converted it to a 3 spd. floor shift standard.

 Yes, your gallon is only 3.8 litres whereas ours is 4.5 litres.

Our miles are about the same as yours, about 1600 metres.

 

To get 30mpg I think they fitted a very heavy return spring to the accelerator and very carefully drove down a 30 mile hill with a very strong tail wind ......... (in my notso humble opinion)

[Wallaby Jack, SASS #44062]

 .... and they probably rounded the figures up to the nearest 10 ......

Most of the Enfields I've seen have a barrel mounted leaf rear sight. The only ones I was aware of with a peep sight were Canadian.
