A brick shaped car will always give less FE at high speeds
Why does gypsy king top out around 120-130? The answer is the shape, if it was more aerodynamic the top speed would have been much higher.
True ! My 1998 Carb. King tops out at 100~105 (110 with favourable winds!). Can do what I want - the brick front does it!

The newer MPFI Kings are faster. Have seen them go upto 135~140 (tailwinds again!)
