what would you guys expect MPG wise for a 93 p-71 with 137k?
this week back and forth to work all highway 60 miles a day, i made it all week. 320 miles and the needle was close to touchin the 1/4 mark. filled it up and did the math and thats pretty much 24mpg. changed the oil today, 10-30 valv max life and got new fram air filter, see if she does better next week.
whats everyone else averaging with the 92-97 vics?

for my 94 with 3.08 gears i would average that too. if i cruised a lot of highway, i would actually exceed 30 mpg.

You are right in the normal range at 24 MPG highway.
The peak for a stock CVPI is about 26, under optimum conditions. Their lower gearing does nothing to help economy.
Standard civilian cars should EASILY get 26-28, and under ideal conditions can get 30 MPG or so. This on the '92-'97 cars, '98 up about 2 mpg less because their aerodynamics are worse.
