Remind me how slow a NA 240 is... 200 1993

I've owned a bunch of 240's over the years but it's been a long time since I've driven one other than this 93 we have now. I know they aren't exactly spunky, but I swear this one feels down on power. 75 on the interstate if you hit a little hill it's pretty close to giving all it's got to maintain. I don't think I've ever had an LH 2.4 car, this one feels.. off. It's had the full typical tune-up stuff, fuel pumps, ignition, etc, etc. Seems to run well enough, no noise, smoke, oil use, no real smoking guns, just kinda weak. The fuel mileage is less than I remembered as well, I got 22 on a pretty hard 60 mile run at 75 yesterday with maybe eight miles of in town driving. May have been a bit of a headwind and an overall uphill grade through the trip, but I was expecting more like 25. No check engine light either fwiw. Typical high miles but so has every other one I've had.


Am I about to start chasing my tail looking for something wrong?
