2.1 gal’s,I was suprised to say the leastthats almost 51 MPG, Can not
belive this ,will try this again , Now the miles I put on where hwy
miles heck it 50 miles to anywhere from where I live in Az LOLNow this
car has 178k on it and runs great.had to change oil an valve cover
gasket(was leaking)and cleaned the throttle body, outside of that
haven’t done anything else to it yet, Do these cars get milage like
that ? My speeds were 45to 55most of the time,no stops, Also has any

12"tires. Thanks &have a good day Slimone
