SC gas mileage

16 -18 mpg in an 83 SC with the top off city/highway combined.

I have never been close to 20 mpg. I have tried to tune it lean and just run lousy.

City driving will kill gas milage. I live in the country and my 82 stays above 70 mph 85% of the time. I get 24mpg. When I go to the "big city" my milage drops way off.

I am lucky to get 20mpg anywhere.
