I like 90Q more - mpg

My '89 90Q's fuel economy has been improving steadily ever since winter,
granted I am light on the go pedal most of the time - broke the 28 mark
on the tankful including the MtW trip, which while mostly highway
driving includes a chunk of stop and go and several WOT 3rd and 4th gear
climbs thru "slow traffic" passing sections.

And I was going to be happy if I got 25 mpg!  it will be interesting to
see what next winter brings - the real economy killer seems to be cold
starts, but I bet that RFG hurts, too.

Additional PS, the MtW tankful for some odd reason also repressents the
best I ever got out of the coupe - just cracking 29 last year I think. 
That was with about 20 miles of 3rd gear redline driving, too!
