Allan,
  If I go back to the 60's and think of a 273 HO with a 4 barrel I had in a
Barracuda I   remember that it could get 17 MPG on the highway as long as it
wasn't horsed.  I think the Barracuda must have weighed close to 500 lbs. more
than a Tiger.  I believe the horsepower was 239.
  Now I've always considered Ford products as the worse of the big three for
mileage, but I would think that a mild 289 or 302 should do better than 11-12
MPG on the highway.  .  Am I crazy or what?     Mark L.
