Paul, Mid 1940's Science and Mechanics. 1939 Ford Coupe.
60 MPH took only 6HP at the wheels. Virg

They must have been Percheron's :-).

6 * .5 BSFC = 3 pounds of fuel per hour or 1/2 gallon per hour at 60 MPH.

120 MPG I don't think so :-) Running it supper rich at one pound per
HP.  Six pounds of fuel or one gallon per hour 60 MPG. Naw!:-)

I think Science and Mechanics was wrong :-)
