Used to get 15 MPG in normal, not-too-heavy-foot city driving before replacing all 12 injector seals. Now it's up to 20 MPG with similar driving style. Right before the change, I could see the injectors "lift" from their holes due to the tension from hard fuel lines whenever the throttle opened, i.e. vacuum decreased. So, I had to compensate for the extra air by adding a whole lot more fuel than it normally needs, and the idle was way too rich.

Mix of highway and city, last fill up, 22 mpg. running on 87 octane gas (Shell) 127,000 miles completely stock. One trip to NJ last year, wife and kids in the car, average "trip speed" 74 mph, no a/c running, -- 24 mpg!!!.

I will have to check my City Milage. I normally only check my Highway.

I just drove from North Carolina to Florida and back. The car has a 3.6 in it and no a/c. I got 25 MPG on average driving it like I stole it. I did anyhwere from 80-100 MPH on the trip. The average speed was probably in the 85 MPH range. When accelerating I had not problem dropping it to the floor either.

When I get it back home to Florida this winter I will have to check my City milage although I suspect it will be poor due to my driving syle.

Is this--the '83 SC?--an everyday driver? How's the reliability?
How does it handle short trips around town? I have a stock '82 SC
recently purchased, 92K miles, runs strong. I drive it once a week,
rev it up to 4K rpm in 1st and 2nd after warm to keep the plugs clean. I suppose it could be an everyday driver? Interesting you are using regular gas. That's what my manual says, too.

I get between 18 and 24 mpg in mu 1991C2. Depends how "frisky" I get.
