You guys are disappointing me, this is a Pontiac forum and after 19 posts the Pontiac Tempest has not been mentioned. The stock slant 4 with the 2 speed automatic got 23 MPG while I drove it in college. I bet the 3 and 4 speed got even better.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
