When I bought my latest 67.5 1.6L in California and drove it back to
Texas I averaged about 32 MPG. I live about 30 miles outside of Austin,
In the country and drive into Austin about 3 times a week. With that
"touwn and country" driving I average about 28 MPG. I fill up about every
250 miles and it generally takes about 8~9 gallons.
Peace,
Pat
