Sway Bar Bushings on '90 20tq

[Ben Swann]

In theory,  the Motronic system in the '91 2Ctq should be better on fuel.
 
In practice, there are too many other variables, including the car itself - the earlier
car is more aerodynamic, etc. and for some reason, the CIS system tends to lend itself
to better economy.  This of course changes when things are modified.  My experience has
been that the 10V T44's get better fuel economy than the '91 when all is in good sort
and tune.  I have had probably a good 10 of each.
 
You can tune the Motronic system to be way more efficient - or way less too.
 
Anyway, CIS is older and dated, but works fine in this car.

It's a CIS III. And to be honest, I haven't driven it enough to get a real feel for the
mileage yet.

Is this car EFI or CIS..I would think EFI if you are getting good fuel #......what mpg
have you gotten?

Why not?  If everything else is in good condition, expecially cosmetics, then worth it.
You can get plenty of decent power installing a chip and good driveability out of them
and the interior is pretty much the same.  Also, not to start a thread on this, but they
generally get better fuel economy too.

If the car needs paint, interior and/or engine work, then might be better to start with
a better overall car.

I don't understand why you would do all this work to a 10v.]
