Gas mileage
<<I think 20mpg is good gas mileage for the 2.2 I5. I have a 1984 Coupe
GT with the 2.2I5 and am averaging about 22mpg for a lighter car than
your 4KCSQ. If I do pure highway driving, I may get as much as 25, if I
don't stomp on it too much. This is in Denver on regular 85 octane.>>
I've got an 2144cc I5 in my '82 100. When it was running properly, I was
getting at least 28mpg. Now it is getting about 20, but now it ain't
running right.
This is generally 16 mile journeys to and from Uni, and other short trips,
so not really highway either. It is not particularly aerodynamic (boxy
type), or light.
