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.......

What sucks is we had to wait eight years for the return of the Camaro...it took GM's top Jack Asses to figure out there was a market for a two door four seat muscle car, Ford on the other hand has been doing it righ all along the first one rolled out on April 17, 1964, at the New York World's Fair. The basic model price was $2,368. Within a year, Ford had sold 417,000 models, most of which were hardtops.
I have been playing with my toys for over thirty five years, I am a Master Mechanic, Fabricator, and Welder....but i have yet to own a mustang...
