I like 90Q more - mpg

[JOHN BANDY]

My '88 80Q and '89 90Q regularly get over 30mpg with interstate driving
in the summer months. And yes, RFG sucks!

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!
