The 1978 Caprice had minor front and rear styling revisions, and the engine line up remained unchanged, but numerically lower axle ratios were used in an attempt to boost fuel economy. The 305 and 350 engines went from a standard 2.56:1 axle in 1977 to a 2.41:1 axle for 1978. By 1978 more than a million of the downsized Chevrolets had been produced. The four door Caprice Classic sedan had been the most popular model of the previous year, with 212,840 produced.
