The "new" 96 with stock tires get 25.5 average, mostly highway. BUT, the TCC isn't locking correctly, and I have an EGR issue.. it might increase a little when I get those things ironed out.
I think there is a conspiracy, as my full size 96 Lincoln Town Car got 25, with a 4.6, and my F-150, with nearly the same motor as the Lincoln, and about the same weight, gets all of 16...... lol...
I miss my 40mpg metro!!!
Who knows what the "Turtle" gets... something like a weekend on a tank, with some left over.. lol...
