Expected gas mileage 200 1993

Just curious what you guys would expect for gas mileage under the following conditions:

'93 240 Wagon
VX Cam
75mph speeds
Thule roof carrier (box)
Tires are 215/55-16

I am seeing about 21mpg highway under the above conditions. Just switching from 195/70-14 tires to 215/55-16 tires cost me 4% due to more accurate odometer readings with the new tire size.

Still, 21mpg seems a little low, but maybe I am expecting too much. (I was more expecting 23mpg, but maybe the speed with the roof carrier is a killer)

What do you all think?

Thanks
