I have two contours....a '95 & '96...both zetec 5speed manuals. both avg around 23mpg. I bought the '95 brand new drove it aprox 15000 miles and decided it would be great for the wife. I then purchased a used seville in 96...drove it aprox 5000 miles...missed the fun I had in the 'tour,' so I traded in for my '96. I have 140,000 on mine and she has 115,000 on hers. Great cars!!!!
