I get 10 mpg/city and maybe 14ish/hwy and that 10 mpg reduces to 8 ish when I'm going off. My Suburban gets 17/city and 25/hwy and it's 3 times heavier than my little gas hog.

sounds about right
I've got an '87 NA, and I usually get about 16-18 MPG mixed. I can manage about 20 on the highway. I just got my engine rebuilt about 5K miles ago, so that might have something to do with it. At least its better than my '89 Mustang 5.0, I was lucky to see 12 or 13 MPG in it.

I told you, don't get on it at all. I shift before the secondaries kick in. And that is tuned by myself to be very rich for the most part. I hope to make it go up a little once I hit the dyno.

I've got a 90 GXL with 230k miles (19k miles on new engine)...I'm the original owner. The best gas mileage that I've ever got was 28 mpg highway. Typical highway mileage is about 20-24 mpg. In other words, I've driven about 400 miles or so on a tank of gas on the highway. In the city, a tankful will usually last me 200-250 miles. Not sure about city mpg, but think it's probably around 15 mpg. In general, gas mileage is better during the summer months and turns to $hit during the winter months.

Yep, sounds about right...I get 18ish mostly city driving and when I venture out of the city...23-24ish...75 MPH & up...
Of course always keep it in tune, tires with proper inflation pressure...
and a fresh wax really helps too!

We'll see how my MPG changes in the future here. (I won't be driving my car until spring....unless it clears up bit around here)
I would get 20mpg, even it i did drive it hard every now and then..

The worst I get with my 86GXL is 15-17 in town. I drive like a total freak. I haven't measured freeway mileage since I replaced my stock exhaust, but I got 24MPG at 80-90MPH on I5 on the way to Sevenstock.

My Tii gets about 15 city and 18 highway usually shift about 3500 in city and sit in 5th in the highway as well at 3k to 3500 about 80mph. but thats what you get with a turbo.

I have a '90 NA that got 20.2 on the last tank. I drive nearly 50 miles to work and another near 50 home, with maybe 35 to 40 highway. I got on it, probably 4 times for the tank, and I drive 80-85 on the highway(unless someone causes me to get unhappy, in which case I go a little faster). This is with 50k plus on the rebuild. I would be checking anything that would relate if I were only getting 15's

Well for me I shift at like 5k rpm all the time, if I'm not getting on it or not, haha for somereason I don't like shifting below that. If I did shift around 3 or so maybe i could hit 20 mpg, but who knows. I also just put in brand new plugs and stuff, but havn't touched the o2 sensors yet.
