Re: Driving comparisons between the Packard Six and 120.

Fuel consumption is almost entirely dependant on the right foot pressure. At a GPS 65 mph (110kph) I normally average around 16-18 MPG per Imperial gallon (160 fluid ounces compared to 128 fluid ounces for a US Gallon). The Six and Eight are very similar in mass and Drag Co-efficient ( 1.9-2.1 compared to a modern car of around 0.4) There should be very little difference in fuel consumption. There is a 41- 120 with OD on OZ ebay at the moment. It is $A30k asking price with a spare car. I am not sure how negotiable the price is. There was also very recently a 39 Six with OD on the NSW South Coast for $A18k. They are around. PT
