    Coffe breake, heading home from Stockholm (400 mile trip) to match town
    Jönköping. The wagon makes steady 80-90
    miles/h. Miles per gallon is a later problem. The Monaco-72 is my pride and joy. Kim- The Swede

    Nice to here from you Kim! You could probably reverse those numbers (80-90) and have your gas mileage!.....Longroofs Rule!

    Awesome wagon, Kim! I think for the '72 model year, the Monaco was better-looking than the corresponding Chrysler Town & Country.

    Hello Krash! My Monaco is like a good looking
    woman; nice from the front and nice from the back!

    Hello mr Insane! The rear axle ratio is only 2:76, With a 3-speed tranny.
    The gas cost me $270.
    Distance was 500 miles. Good luck with the maths,
    Cheers Kim
