'95 w/ auto and 2.59 rear. Was getting 16.5 to 17 city. Replaced the battery (4 yrs old) and the ICM (factory orig), cleaned the IAT... and damned if I didn't pick up about 2 on the digital avg mpg readout on the speedo display as a result. 18.9 and climbing after couple hours of city driving today just cruising around.

28 mpg. average speed is now 51 mph. just took a 600 mile trip (one way). bb bullets (damn that drone!). climate control on. right around 500 miles on a tank. only able to refill 16 gallons (@2 gallons left). mn6 f55.

70@1500
80@1700+/-

the bullets are quite around 1700/1800, unless you are going uphill. depending upon the load, different drone. sometimes the whole car has a vibration. still running rich though.
