I average 30+ on the freeway if the heater is off, otherwise as bt20v can attest to, 186 is an empty tank. Damn 155 degree tstat!!!! In town it's around 25-30 if I'm not beatin on it. My 1980 3TC coupe would get 557 miles out of a 10 gallon tank if I babied the shit out of it. Hell we went out drifting one night for an hour and a half of bangin rev limiter in that car. Started out on empty, put in $5(when gas was 2.20ish a gallon. Still made it to work the next day! Loved that car!

I've been getting 28-33 in my completely stock 88 mr2. But I just replaced the spark plugs (have no idea when they were last done, nasty condition) and put synthetic oil in (straight sludge came out) so I'm curious to see what ill be getting now.
