Thanks for the responses so far...
Fuel consumption = about 22 - 25 mpg. Temp is normal. I replaced the cat about 6 months ago, so I don't think there are any restrictions. It's been a few years and probably 6K miles since it was tuned (NGK plugs, bourigard wires, rotor, cap). It idles high - about 1100 rpms when warm - but consistent. I have replaced all vacuum lines in the past year or so and check them often to make sure nothing has popped off. Oil/filter is changed every 3K miles. I have not replaced the air filter or fuel filter since I've owned it, so they could be possible problems. I don't know how to check the timing, but maybe need to learn.
I can't imagine mine doing 90MPH. I think the fastest I have ever been able to achieve is 75 and that was probably on a slight downhill with a tailwind. I can floor it but it just doesn't seem to want to go faster. Tonight on my ride home I will try to get it higher in the revs and see if that makes a difference climbing the big hill. And I do have the Bentley so I'll read up on testing compression, and fuel flow.
