we typically see ~20MPG in mixed tanks of 'round-town and hwy flying
while on B99 BioD.
just got back from another thousand-mile weekend, turning 80+ MPH
for hours on I5 with the AC on in temps over 90*F in the Central Valley
mixed with some stop&slow one way through Los(t) Angeles. filling up
with #2 at a couple of truck stops, it looks like we were seeing
something in the range of 23MPG.
saw indicated coolant temps briefly creep to ~110C while climbing
the Grapevine both ways while still floating past much of the traffic,
but otherwise saw ~90-95*C most of the time.
still feels pretty good for and old car that looks and cruises as
nicely as it does.
cheers!

Isn't that awfully low for a turbo 617? Are you sure you don't have a
clogged cat, stuck EGR, dirty fuel filters, etc.? (Have you CHANGED your
FUSES?)
20MPG would be a little on the low side for a 617, but they don't do a
whole lot better than mid-20's, in my experience.
No cat.
