I get 23 mpg now that the weather is warmer, 20 in the dead of winter.  
That's just an average tankfull, hwy driving will take it up a bit.  I think 
they should be a bit higher.  I don't do many short trips.  Less than 20 is 
a bad sign unless there are extenuating circumstances.

73 FI squareback
