Click on icons to see breakdown of figure or look up other cars. I'd expect it to be in the ballpark 25.7 - 35.3 mpg for general use, but short journeys I'd expect could pull it below 20. Do the 87- cars not have the idle solenoid cut-off relay to help out?
I understood this little relay was to stop dieseling run-on at switch off.
