You are right on there. I love my Bonnies, even with their niggly little problems they are still awesome.
Luxury with Attitude and still getting 32Mpg. I really cant think of any others that can do that
(on a off topic but related note, maybe its a GM thing but my 5.7 Litre Z28 Camero gets 26Mpg on the highway - so I am a happy camper all round

yeah, its the 275Hp model from 1995. It rocks and really turns heads as its got that Mystic Teal paint that changes from green to blue to purple in the sun. I will never sell that car 
But as awesome as it is, its not much faster than my SSEi. I was surprised at how quick the SSEi Bonne'* are.

yes, you are right there. A rolling start with the Bonnie is not as good. But I am most impressed with my SSEi with 2nd gear acceleration. Doing about 40Mph and dropping the hammer in 2nd amazes me every time.
Anyway, i guess thats getting off topic huh.

My '96 Olds LS gets just over 30 mpg on the highway at 80, and that'* at altitudes of 4000-7000ft. In mixed driving it gets 25-26. Amazing. 134,000 miles, no oil usage.
I don't know why some of these H bodies only get 24 or less.
I knew a guy who bought a used Park Avenue because everyone he talked to was getting 30 or more on the highway. He got 24 and was so mad he sold the car.
The best I've heard on these cars is an old farmer I knew who had the first generation of these cars, like a '86 LeSabre. He claims he consistently got 35 mpg on hiway trips.

Yeah, I should have mentioned that I had a 1985 Pontiac 6000LE, I guess thats a cousin of the Bonneville right ? Anyway, that always got about 30Mpg on the highway too.
