Start full tank, traveled 198 miles, used 11 gallons to refill tank!
Fuel economy = 198 miles/ 11 gallons = 18 MPG!

Syncros have 18 gallon tanks.

Subject: better gas mileage

hello all,

seems i'm getting about 30+ mpg, does this sound right after replacing
the ECU and some other tune-up parts i'm getting way better mileage.

trip meter read 198 miles
took 11 gal at station
16 gal tank right did the math and came up with 35mpg

* is my math wrong * ;)

Thanks,
Joe
