local driving was about 40% city and 60% regular highway....averaged 26 mpg with just me in the car.
hi-way trip was all 4 lane to pick up friends at the airport. steady driving, cruise set on 75 but on the way back there was 3 of us and a trunkload of luggage....got 33mpg.
not bad for an 89 with almost 300,000km(187,000miles) on the odometer!

I managed to see 28.something on a trip through indiana (3 others in the car, but flat as a board)
Most of the time in town (Cincinnati is slightly hilly and a friggan stop-go traffic nightmare) I see an average of 16-17 per tank... I really need something to help with that... Anyone figgured out how to turn off 2 cylinders yet?

Coming back from Denver going to North Platte, NE , cruising at 80, never touched the pedals for 250 miles (it was early in the am and no traffic). I had 4 people, loaded trunk and only managed 33 MPG. I might have to bite the bullet and replace my original O2 sensor.
