I paid $3.85 in downtown Lake Placid in the height of the season. About 10 miles out of town, I saw gas for $ 3.45 . First long trip with the Palisade driving at a slow highway speed 70-75 in NY which is 15 mph below my PA speed going to the lake (Not sure if my "get out of jail free card would work in NY) got over 27mpg.

Glad the wedding went well Al and nice fuel economy for such a large vehicle. We got 21 on the freeway.

yup by the liter in Germany as well late 80’s.
We’ve had it good here in the states for a long long time.
