    Believe it or not, pretty good.


    I am a car collector, a 1941 Continental convertible, 1964 Mustang GT convertible, 1970 Pinto, 1972 LTD Brougham convertible, 1983 Continental Mark VI Sedan


    I currently drive a 2010 Lincoln MKZ and a 2012 Mustang GT convertible


    Real Highway mileage with the 41 and V!2 engine  will do 20 MPG, the 64 V8 will do 23, the 70 Pinto 25, the 72 LTD will do 22, the big barge  83 will do 23, the MKZ will do 26 and the 2012 will do 25.


    The difference is the price of the vehicles and the fuel, in the forties gas was 11C, the seventies 35c the eighties 69c and now it over $3. 


    The most expensive collator car was the 83 Continental $27,000 the least expensive was the Pinto $1,885


    My two current drivers were over $35,000. and will not get the 30 MPG or more they claim
