Old, did some checking, here is what I found.
1960: The 170-cubic-inch (2.8-litre) "LG" (Low-G, referring to the relatively short engine block casting and crankshaft stroke) in the Valiant, and the 225-cubic-inch (3.7-litre) "RG" (Raised-G, referring to the relatively tall engine block casting and crankshaft stroke) in full-size Plymouth and Dodge Dart models.
I never had the 170 cube. I had a 225 single barrel and 225 2bbl. I never came close to 20 mpg. Perhaps I had my right foot in the carb or on the brakes.
I also had a D200 with 360 with a 411. Loads of pulling power, poor milage.

Daughter has a perus, 50 city, 47 highway.
I love today's cars, cleaner, better mileage, more comfort. George
