The car has LOTS of power for a non turbo (kinda like a gasser), and is very economical. The other 5 cyl's have gotten from 22-25 average every time I have checked. It cracks me up every time I see an ad on CL for a 617 powered car "gets 30 mpg". That is what the gal told me that I got the E300 from, and now I believe her. 30 MPG on a 617 turbo car? I think not...
