Depends mostly on how it's driven and how often you change the oil and filters. I'd bet driven conservatively and changing the oil and filters at every 3K miles you could get something like 45-50 mpg out of it on the highway and over 28+ in town.

Hi, thanks for this information. I will go to a location about 300 miles away, the oil, oil filter, air filter were changed last week. Thsi litle old baby runs very well, some front end parts had to be cahnged, and front end alignment was done. The front end alignment has to do with the fuel economy. Depending on the road, this one trip could take me about 4 hours or so, and, having my wife with me, she will make drive to slower speeds. I have a piece of paper to make notes of fuel, distances and amount of fuel prices paid.
