I have a 93 940 wagon non turbo and I was wondering what every one else is getting as far as M.P.G. highway and city.

thanks
Ed

Top was 30.8 at 50-55 MPH due to bad weather, long story.

n/a, highway, 27-29. Mixed, 21-24. I never get too many miles on the OD just city driving.

Turbo 26-27 MPG highway.

High-test in the summer and mid-grade in the colder weather. Amoco only.

A co-worker of mine who just traded in his '93 945 (non-turbo) said that he got around 21 city & 25 highway (up to 27 on long flat drives with the cruise control on), with 87 octane.

For what it's worth, my '93 945 turbo gets between 20 and 21 mpg consistently in mixed driving with premium fuel.

I usually get about 22 in town and up to 28-29 on the highway in my '93 945 NA, regina. On two 500 mile trips to California, I found that premium fuel gave me enough better mileage to overcome the extra cost, compared to regular gas. In town, premium doesn't seem to make a difference.

Dear Ed,

May this find you well. About 20-21 mpg, city/highway combined, on 87 Octane.

Yours faithfully,

spook
