Chevette 40MPG Club !
Below are members of the Official Chevette 40MPG club. Who would have thunk that an old obsolete carbureted ( or Diesel ) Chevette would get mileage better than most of today's computer controlled electronic fuel injected Wonders ?! To enter the club, be honest, and submit your listing to me. If you want to submit a small picture, images of 50k or less are welcome.
