In winter, when there is a lot of snow, a lot of the high mileage cars get
zero as they wont make it out of the driveway.
In these times I will be still be getting around twelve MPG.
. Also, the old Intn'l pulls a trailer that weighs 4.5 K empty and, recently, I
have moved equipment for a friend that weighed around 14K.
If I get hit with a new suv, it will probably get totaled and the old (73)
pickup will still be going. N.
