hi guys. i just purchased my first bonnie EVER this morning and it is looking real sharp. ive read on fueleconomy.gov that a 97 bonnie gets about 22 mpg, but other places ive heard around 28. what do you guys as the actual owners get for gas mileage?

Mine'* been 20 or a little better since the day I bought it new. some here say different; I think they're lying.

I have gotten a little better mileage lately, though, but it'* just because California has switched over to (real) gasoline from the "reformulated" crapola for the winter.

alright thanks. anyone else?

Trust me, they'll be along directly.

I just returned home from a 1800 mile trip to MN. We averaged 26 MPG, but we were running at a pretty strong clip (80-88 MPH) the whole way. That was three people and tons of luggage. I have 135,000 on it.

Ahhh! another 2K on kindly ol' Uncle Bob'* sleeved upper!

I'm using you for a testimonial on e-Bay, Mark.

18-20 for me in my 1994

Short local trips around town - 20-22 MPG.

73 mph interstate driving with full load of luggage - 29 MPG
(this was a 340 mile non-stop run with very light traffic, 45 degrees, dry roads)

I usually get from 22-26 with mixed driving conditions.

I average right at 20 MPG, including rush hour to and from work in my 98 SE.
