I get 250-280 miles on a tank of 89. Have 1.8 with PRM intake. Have got 356 miles on a tank but that was full highway trip and I filled the tank as much as possible. I went from a RS Auto to a GS 5-spd and I get similar mileage from my GS as I did with the RS. So you are in the right ballpark on figures for gas mileage.

My '94 gs get about 300 km/tank in the city, about 500km on the highway. The mpg drops a bit in the winter too.

i finally did some serious highway driving and got about 400km out of my tank.<BR>btw, i don't for a second believe that my tank holds the reported 50 litres. maybe 40 but closer to 35.

My record is 353 miles before 1/8th tank, and I had to refill because the next station was 60 some miles away. Probably could have made it though. Mostly highway miles that tank, with the K8 and 4.111:1 gearing.

I used to know alot about MX-3's, but not so much anymore. Oh well.
