Gym...

I don't think the length and weight have a lot to do with it so there's
probably no reason I should expect more mileage than a 260 even though I
weigh less. Once you're up to speed it's the same frontal area

Gotta wonder how lean that 455 was for 12mpg, though.. Some white spark
plugs, I'll bet. Positively glowing.
