Hey, I just got 36.9MPG out of my '89 auto today, and it's not exactly what you'd call the best running Festiva in the world... So who knows?

I once got 45 MPG on the hwy for a full tank of gas with an Acura Integra 1.8 with auto trans. There was a stiff tailwind tho.90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods

IIRC, the best highway mileage I got from Luxstiva after the B6 swap was around 36 mpg, trying to stay under 65 mph. In day to day driving around home, I got around 27 or so. Worst was maybe 25. Heavy foot and a B6 (with a Protege TB 5mm larger diameter), remember.

Karl, you do a great job of staying under 65!Originally posted by Safety Guy View Post
Best MPG on the MFIII round trip was 37.5 with an average speed near 60MPH.
Averaging near 65 MPH and MPG drops to about 34 MPG.
These number corrected for ODO and oversized tires errors via GPS.'93 Blue 5spd 230K(down for clutch and overall maintanence)
