I get about 17-20 MPG on my 86GL, I got 22 MPG once with the wind behind me on a real windy day. I drive a compination of city and hwy. Check your tail pipe and see how much soot there it. With a good CAT and O2 and all it should look pretty clean after a highway run. If it's black you're burning rich. -- Hotch 86 GL 123K Philly hotch@netaxs.com
