I just read that the new 2009 Toyota Corolla will get 34 mpg.
However I just read A ford Advertisement that says the Focus gets 50
mpg.   How can that be ?   As well, another advertisement that says 36
mpg for the Ford Taurus 2008 model.  Obviously the numbers don't mean

Saw an interesting article on the front page of this morning's Sunday paper
about the 2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid.  Didn't even know it existed.

I have a 1970 Ford County Sedan with an FE 390 2V.   There is a baffle
