They are rated for 19 city... and 29 hwy.... I think the 96-97 bonnies were rated for 30 hwy...
Gennerally if your car is in good running order( no redlining all of the time ) you'll do 20-21 in town, and 29-32 or 33 on the road.... These cars seem to usually exceed the sticker rating by a few MPG... Look at some of the 3400 V6'*, some are rated at 32 mpg( sticker rating ) hwy, I'll bet they can pull a 35mpg.... Thats better than some 4cylinder cars

Up to 40 MPG? Not calling BS, but I don't belive it.
I've been around 3800'* since 1989, and none of the 10 have ever done better than 30 mpg.
L27'* L67'* L36'* whatever an 89 is...

A"long way" isn't the same thing as doing the math. 40 mpg is wishfull thinking. You gotta do the math to really get a good idea as to what your mpg really is. I have gotten 31-32 mph on the highway.

Really that far on one tank?
