when I first got ours, we got 24 on the highway. and that was after we had the trap changed. was up to Vail Co. a few years ago, the elivation is 9000ft and higher. the damn thing was a dog, no excelleration, nothing. I even got beat going down hill by a 61 VW.
we go rid of the trap, turbo, intake, exhaust, egr, Ca. air filter, and changed things like an 83. the next year we were back to Vail and I thought I was in a corvett. It was a different vehicle. now I get 27 - 30 mpg. Last May fueled in Portland Or. drove to Lodi, Ca and got 30.86.

Couple yrs ago, drove to Ogden, Ut. and av almost 29 on one tank. Ca to Ut. Oh I hold 34 gallons.
