Hmmm.... ( thinks to myself ) Maybe I could use that info as justification to my Mrs. to seek a GLT to replace the Auto.
But she has said before she doesn't want a manual - and a 240GLT Auto I would think would be particularly thirsty when towing.
I used to get ~22mpg towing the Piper Clubman 212 with the '76 244 GL B21E ( 3 speed BW35 ) Auto.
It only did 24-25 when not towing.
It was quite a heavy van for its size though as it was a 1979 model with steel chassis.
