What kind of fuel mileage do you get?

'88 90q (5cyl, manual, 190k):

On the last two tanks with mostly highway miles (but some 'bad' city miles)
it gave me about 24 mpg.  If I do mostly city driving, though, it gives
19-20 mpg.

The interesting thing is that roundtrip from San Francisco to Tahoe (2-3
people w/ ski stuff) will give around 28mpg, and that's despite (or maybe
b/c of) keeping it rev'd high in 5th gear (4th sometimes too) up the hill to
maintain speeeed.  Maybe the no-load downhill run is what really helps....
