Re: Mileage

Hi all,

Our NA 5-spd '86 5kS ranges from 24 to 28 mpg's in town, mostly short 
trips.  Mileage is better in the 'cooler' months here in the 'Valley Of The 
Sun', as the A/C is working hard during the summer =()  On a 1700 mile trip 
through California, it averaged a steady 32.5, and on a Northern Arizona 
trip we got over 36, refueling only after getting back in town with 699 
miles on the trip odometer and the gauge just getting into reserve!  
Lately we've been getting between 26 and 27.  YMMV ;)  Esp. with automatic.
