    A Dodge Omni holding 85! Their speedometer maxed out there, didn't it? I owned a Plymouth Horizon with a carbureted 2.2 and a five-speed, and I can't imagine three canoes on top much less 85 mph. Well done.

    Indeed, it took a while to get there, but it did. Mine was some sort of "special edition" that had no air cleaner at all (open hood - look into carb) when I bought it, and typically got about 15mpg. Still, it was $200 and went 30,000km before I sold it for $100 (I put on an air filter, though).
