Fuel Consumption Calculator for Classic Cars

Classic Car Fuel Efficiency Explained

Classic cars, especially those from the 50s to 70s, often have larger engines and lower fuel economy due to older technology like carburetors, heavy steel frames, and lack of modern aerodynamics.

• Average MPG (miles per gallon) for muscle cars: 6–12 MPG
• Daily Driver Classics (e.g., VW Beetle): 20–30 MPG
• Proper Tuning and maintenance can improve fuel efficiency by 10–15%
