So in 1980, I had a really 1976 nice, pale green International Scout with a 6 cyl, auto trans, and actual air conditioning. It got 16 mpg on the highway. I had put "L" sized Radial (a new thing) tires on it to drive on the Cape Cod beaches. I started commuting to school in Boston, and we were coming out of the Carter-era gas crisis. I sold the Scout and bought a Volvo to get better gas mileage.Via Bronco Nation

More reference points / technical specs chart for comparing the trims / models:
41 years later, I've signed up to buy a new-fangled Bronco that gets 4 mpg better gas mileage and costs $51,500. 20 mpg gas mileage, 41 years later? What am I doing?
By the way, the Scout was $6,250 new in 1976!
