"how does 376.59 miles per gallon sound? Makes your Honda Civic hybrid look
Hummeresque, doesn't it?
"That number doesn't come from some manta ray-shaped, wind tunnel-vetted
carbon fiber space car. No, it's from a chop-top, steel-frame 1959 Opel T-1
(think melting jelly bean, but uglier). And the record was set in 1973 in a
contest sponsored by Shell Oil Co."
