Honestly...how good was the 318...mpg / durability / hp

Mid 20's is great mileage. It took quite a few components to get there but it worked. The lock up and 2.45 gear tipped you over the scales. there.

The cruise control really helped too. The 999 transmission had a low 1st gear which helped launch the car with the 2.45 rear gear.
