The Wife asked me to ask you all what kind of gas milage you get??



We are averaging @ 10 MPG around town. Seems excessive for such a

small car.



What do you think?

sounds about right to me man. i know a Turbo II that gets less than 8 MPG.

j9fd3s 01-19-2003 09:04 PM

I get 18 mpg, and that's mostly highway. Hope my new O2 sensor will improve matters a little.
