Would you please ask him to join the forum and post his methods as to how he gets this fuel mileage? I would love to get 40-45mpg in my '85 wagon. Heck, I'd be happy to get 30-35mpg.

It's been a while since I thought it was necessary to calculate my fuel economy. When I did I was averaging 23-24mpg all around, city and highway combined.
Now I just look at it like this: when I am putting fuel in my tank, I multiply the # of gallons by 22 and that's how far I figure I can go on that particular fill up (almost never fill all the way up, usually put in $20-$30 for around town puttering). Then again, I seldom pay much attention to the (trip) odometer and almost never reset it when I put fuel in.
