One thing I don't think anyone else has mentioned -- is it possible that the car in question has a performance chip in it? I had one in my '91 L and now have one in my '91 S and it had negative effects on both car's mileage. I haven't had the S long enough to say for sure but my impression is the car is in the low 20s at best, highway, and the L I know dropped from about 30 mpg to 25 mpg when it was chipped.

What I saw n mixed Silicon Valley traffic with a heavy foot was low 20's and sometimes as ad as 18 or 19. Pure highway driving @ 70mph was around 28mpg (BTW: Is it really a "modern" car? <g> ) - o be removed from alfa, see http://www.digest.net/bin/digest-subs.cgi r email "unsubscribe alfa" to [email protected] -- to be removed from alfa, see http://www.digest.net/bin/digest-subs.cgi or email "unsubscribe alfa" to [email protected]
