THE FIRST FORD V-8

According to historical reports, Henry Ford's first V-8 was introduced in March of 1932. With a displacement of 221ci and a whopping 65 horsepower, it promised to move America more rapidly. However, its technology demonstrated several design flaws. An 84-year-old automotive historian from Connecticut told us, "Metallurgy was in its infancy, and as a result, piston rings were not yet made of a properly hardened steel, which caused this engine to burn oil. The cooling system also had design problems, and the back cylinders always ran hotter than the rest. The intake manifold resulted in a bad air/fuel mixture from the one-barrel carburetor. One bank ran too rich--the other too lean. This engine only delivered about 10 miles per gallon of gas, along with a miserable 100 miles per quart of oil. Inadequate water jacketing (and cooling), a stupid ignition system, and leaking water pumps all caused problems."

Wasn't gasoline, what, 20 octane? Wouldn't 10mpg be pretty much impossibly good?
