Took the car from Fort Worth, through Clovis NM, then down to Roswell NM, and back to Fort Worth, and staying around 75 MPH on the hiway I was averaging about 31MPG. WAY up from the 20-22 I was getting before I just wired the choke wide open LOL.

Oh, and the car was loaded down with me, the wife, our kid, all our kid's toys and a DVD player, all our bags and clothes, and a big cooler of drinks and snacks (took up the whole front seat lol). Not too bad for a 17 year old car!

:D word.. i love the power gain from my 88lx to my 89 lxi :) it's more than just FI though.. the 89 FI engine is actually rated at higher HP than the 88 FI one (at least according to chilton's manual)

45-60 mpg

are you running lean? or on 3 cyl? cuz that is too damn good for a 3gee....unless you have it stiped or something...i would be lucky if i got 40mpg...i get around 350 miles per tank so its like 30mpg
