    Good mileage on my 1200 mile trip!

    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!

    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)
