86-88 cars hold about 16.6 gallons, and 89-91 cars hold 18.5. You should probably be getting between 15-25 mpg, but it depends on your mods, driving style, etc.

I was getting 15.6mpg but then I found my exhaust leak and now I got 19.6 this week!!

That is mostly highway driving about 80mph.

I get 15 - 20 mpg in my vert. I have not driven my 10th AE enough to check, but I'm sure its a lot less than my vert.
