I really wouldn't be that surprised with his mileage. In addition to
my Saturn I have a '95 Fleetwood with the same basic power train and
probably an extra 1k pounds of weight. I regularly get 27mg on the hi
way running 70 ~ 75. In town runs around 17 so the Saturn sure is
kinder to the pocket book there.
