Also the sticker from the dealer is on the car and it retailed for 34,600.00 plus taxes i'm sure.
The base price in 1989 was $32,500, East and Gulf Coast POE

But the MPG was estimates at 20 on the city and 23 on the hiway, Any way to increase the mpg? seems low for the car size.
EPA rating at the time was 20/23 mpg
Understand that the car weighs 3,195 lbs.
