They are rated for 19 city... and 29 hwy.... I think the 96-97 bonnies were rated for 30 hwy...
Gennerally if your car is in good running order( no redlining all of the time ) you'll do 20-21 in town, and 29-32 or 33 on the road.... These cars seem to usually exceed the sticker rating by a few MPG... Look at some of the 3400 V6'*, some are rated at 32 mpg( sticker rating ) hwy, I'll bet they can pull a 35mpg.... Thats better than some 4cylinder cars

A"long way" isn't the same thing as doing the math. 40 mpg is wishfull thinking. You gotta do the math to really get a good idea as to what your mpg really is. I have gotten 31-32 mph on the highway.

the best that i have done is 35mpg, and i average 29-31. I take 2 500 mile trips every year. this week I took a 400 mile trip and got 27, but drove about ~35 HARD city miles before the trip. then I made the trip again and got 29 all highway except for the ~10 miles in the city with Kenn
