hi hawk- those are good figures for mpg. mine does the same with the 5speed od. keep the tire pressures at 33 cold. the wagons are a heavy vehicle too which you would think would retard mpg. if i let the tire pressures drop below 30 mpg drops about 2 mpg. with cars like these have you been asked to join the cba? thanks tons oldduke btw have found generally that a heavy car, 4 cyl engine when coupled to an automatic trans drops the mpg to stinko levels.
