that is EXACTLY my complaint! your 1986 CARBURETED WAGON gets very close to the same as i do, in my 2000 Contour!
if i wanted high-teens in fuel economy, i would have opted for a Mustang, or camaro, for that matter. this is total crap!
as for your contour getting "at least 28-29 on the highway" that pisses me off too. i once got 28, and another time i got 25. that was "good" for my car.
just pisses me off, that there are SO many cars faster and more fun than mine, that get as good, or BETTER fuel economy...
