400+ mile drive, 30mpg.

How I know this as a fact without using the trip computer? Filled her up up to around 18gals, after 60 miles it was down to 16gals.

Simple.

I got 31 on relative flat hwy and 23 going up hill from 135ft to over 2000 in about 150mi.
City was 23 with 20 year old plugs, wires, cap and rotor. Must be better now.

84 turbo wagon with bad o2 sensor - 22 mpg in town by the lie-meter. At least 20 by the gas pump. Not bad.

I just got a 1985 NA 5-speed, but the odometer is broken.

Some incredible mileage here! This isn't one of my car's strong suits. 1996 850R Wagon. 18.5 MPG in city driving, and I know the car's in tip top shape with new air cleaner, plugs, plug wires, tires, etc. My '11 VW GTI does the same loop in 25.5 MPG. You guys must be grandmas or drive downhill to work

Highway - normal driving: about 26
city - normal driving - about 18

driving like an a$$hole - given all my mods - probably single digits.
