A nice teardown of the UIM/LIM with fresh filters and a gentle foot can net mid 24mpg, with 31-32 on the freeway not hard at all (at 80mph or so!!)
Even a heavy foot (and I mean LEAD heavy) can and will only dip to 16-19city.. counter those number with the FUN you can have (vs the "fun" you have with a lead footed honda... MPG dips but you don't go any faster ) and you have a winner.
