16 city, 20 highway if I'm lucky. Thing is, it _always_ gets those
numbers, no matter what. I've towed a 1977 BMW 320i (2500 lb) with 2 extra
engine blocks and an extra 5 spd in the bed, plus a bunch of little stuff,
and I _still_ got 20 mpg. Go figure. Wish I knew why it was so low to
begin with. Defeats the only advantage of the smaller motor. *sigh*
