3-400kms per tank depending on the type of driving.  But this is a Canadian DX so it has no CVCC, plus it's ported and polished and has a header on it so it makes it a little thirsty.

Yeah, I usually get close to 400km (~250m) as well, about 29mpg.

I had a 87 DX and it got around 38-40 miles per gallon, both city and highway mixed. I also had a good carb and K&N filter with reduced air cleaner cover. I got about 400 miles a tank, but also drive conservatively and had to keep records for my job. It was a great car until a delivery truck tried to mate with it. That's the price of a good looking car biggrin.gif

22 MPH? That's pretty slow. They have 5 gears you know... tongue.gif
