As to fuel economy......something to soak on:

The year: 1979.

Double digit inflation......

Double digit INTEREST rates......

Fuel prices thru the ceiling........

Double digit unemployment.........


.........and we delivered over 282,000 Camaros (and that doesn't include Firebirds.....) -- AND - -the 2nd gen was now 10 years old!

Gas prices do not always impact cars like Camaro and Corvette.......

Actually I remember coming back from southeast asia in '73 having to wait in long gas lines to get 5 gallons of gas and I was driving a '66 Corvette that got like 12 miles to the gallon.
