gas mileage (was 4k g.m.)
My 86.5 syncro (JT: 2.2l I5) now has 232, 734 miles on it.
WAS: ~50k miles.
MPG: ~28 HWY
NOW: 230k+
MPG: ~21 HWY
Now I certainly haven't paid it as much attention as I would prefer, but those figures seem in line for an engine with "heavy" miles.

At one point I asked about gas mileage. She said it used to get 38mpg on the
road, but now it's down to 30.
