I believe I read that while the air conditioner is running the gas motor is running. So highway efficiency is hurt by the air conditioner. Is that correct?

The new mpg figures are quite a bit less than previous reflecting on what consumers are actually getting. It was estimated that some people get as much as 35% less than the posted mpg. I saw on World News one lady who got a combined 33 mpg in hers. Who knows how she drove it but it is dramatically less.
It has nothing to do with them unfortunately. If they aren't a major player in something as (potentially) important as this, how can they be considered "Standard of the World?"
I think that's a common definition that leaves a lot room for expansion.
More detailed ideas are in this article if you have interest:
Grading the fuel-saving technologies of the future
To get back to Cadillac, my SRX is burning more fuel than my Seville did, not a surprise. My Seville was averaging about 24 MPG in local driving for me. The SRX is still new and not broken in yet, but I seem to be getting around 18 MPG (it's rated 15 city, 22 highway). After the Seville had a few thousand miles on it, the mileage improved by 1 to 2 MPG (probably at least 1.5 MPGs).

Not going to be me though, uh uh.
For those who say GM cars don't last. :P
This is what? 22 years old?

The tire hanging back there like an old CR-V or a RAV4 would be a good target for the way I back up too. :P
There's still some work to do...
quality study
It looks to be in remarkable condition, probably has 100 original miles on it or something.
It's an 86+, looks like a stock high mount brake light
I saw many other cars of age during our trip but didn't have camera where I could grab pictures. The farther south I go the more great old cars I see.

These cars had a few more features than the Chevy Cavaliar so there had to be a interior trunk release. I have never seen this option on this car before. Maybe its aftermarket like a few others I have seen.
Yes they did!! If it's optioned with it, the button is in the glove compartment. it is electric, so the ignition has to be in the on position. My brother-in-laws '64 Cutlass conv. has it, and it's vacuum operated.
I should have explained what I was saying more clearly. I never saw the continental rear tire option on this car. It had to be aftermarket. My 67 Pontiac GTO had a glove box trunk release as well.
I'd be very surprised if any Cadillac afficianado around these boards disagreed with you. From what I've read, too, most insiders at Cadillac would agree with you, as well.
There is no litmus test for the standard of the world. So no one will be able to be it.
Toyota makes the most profit so perhaps they are the standard? MB makes the most expensive volume vehicles so maybe they are? Cadillac has the best looking cars/trucks so maybe they are?
that was my point. Pretty much style is in the eyes of the beholder.

Sounds worth a test drive......
Looks like the Slade is still receiving praise...but no mention of the cars
Just another GM division.
