I'm surprised at that.  In my '89 100Q I get an average of 21 mpg on mostly 
highway driving, or about 20 mpg using A/C.  By the way, all the official 
ratings I've seen put it around that number.  Are you sure about the 25 mpg?

     My '87 5K CST averages 25.5 mpg highway @ 65 - 70 mph cruising, and 
     about 24.5 mpg commuting, about half of which is 50-55 mph, rest in 
     town (65 miles round trip). Air is on some of the time in each case, 
     doesn't seem to make a big difference to mileage. Its dead stock, and 
     runs on some less than stellar Firestone tires (on when I got it) that 
     I can't afford to replace yet.
