I have one of those. It gets about 35-40 mpg. You would think it would do
better than that. Also it has plenty of power for its size.

EPA fuel economy reporting changed. In 1985, the current methodology
of reducing the tested numbers by 10% for city and 22% for highway was
used. For 1978-1979, the unadjusted test numbers were reported. There
may have been other differences from 1980-1984. In all cases, the test
was the same, but the reporting differed.
