What kind of fuel mileage do you get?

[James Hanson]

I'm not entirely sure.... I just bought the car a couple of months ago.
 Haven't really done anything to it other than oil & filter, cleaned
breather hoses, etc.  Tires are 195/60-14s iirc.  That's just what it
gets.  And if I were to believe the trip computer, I get 30mpg *g*.

Thanks,
Jim
