Someone with an original Feather Duster or Dart Lite should chime in. I'm not sure what they really got, but it was better than average mileage. Those EPA numbers do seem optimistic.

I would think with an OD 4 speed it could be in the 20`s at least.

Didn't the 318 get better mpg aimply because it could make more power with less throttle?
Reminds me of how the 4 banger silverado get worse mph than the v8.

It may could have with some tuning and tweaks, but I don’t think it was available in the feather duster lightweight.

Yeah, some cars or trucks are doomed to crappy mileage simply because the engine is poorly matched for the use of the vehicle. If you have to constantly mash the throttle to keep up with traffic or pull a load, it's not enough engine for the job. IMO the best engine would be the one that can do the job at part throttle and maintain speed with very light throttle.
