Well, it is feasible in a base S. Wish they still made these, it's an
excellent time for a comeback. We had a '96 base S, roll up windows and
stick and averaged 35-40 mpg in the city. Just drive like a grandma, it's=

easy. I average 33mpg on my stick ION.3 country driving, nno longer live =
in
the city, but would imagine it gets 25-30 =A0in city.

I should hope so -- I'm getting 27+ in city driving in a 99 SL2 with autom=
atic
transmission.

My best was when I cleaned my throttle body and opened my spark plug
gap to .50
On what vehicle/engine?
