Re: Gas consumption woes Posted by Saana88 [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Gas consumption woes, Frank ![]() |
We've owned three 900s over the years. Here are your mileage specs:
'85 900 (8 valve, 5 speed) 32 when new, 28 at 190k
'90 900 (16 valve, 5 speed) 34 when I was nice, 26 if I beat the crap out of it. I miss this. LH + 5 speed. Whaaa. Maybe I'll think about this before I go around snowy corners with bald rear tires.
'88 900 (8 valve, slushbox) (currently) 20 when in a hurry, 22 when you're nice. NOT ENOUGH FORWARD GEARS!!! The best mileage I've gotten in this car was 24, on the highway, not exceeding 55 miles an hour, forcing the thing into high gear as soon as possible, don't even think about getting there anytime soon.
On the Technical Information part of this site I have found a listing of 1990 model year EPA fuel mileage ratings; I think it's under "older models info" or something like that.
The only things I can recommend for automatic owners are to keep your engine in good running order and keep the speed and revs down.
