Remember, these cars were built in the late 80's, early 90's when the speed limit was 55, so the gas mileage on the sticker (20-24) is based on the 55 mph speed limit. Its also based on the driver NOT having leadfootitis.

AC kills my mpg and performance. Best I've done is 20mpg and that was a mix of hwy and country with little or no AC. But right now it gets the best gas mileage of anything in our driveway (we have two pickups).

Haven't tried different octanes to see if that helps mpg. Owners manual recommends plain old 87. Notice that the newer engines require premium grade?
