I've just returned from a week cruising round France in my '92 900 turbo conv.,travelling at about 80mph on motorways,and 50-60 on other roads. Over 1,200 miles i got 34.8 mpg(uk gallon).Over the last 12,000 miles it's averaged 29.9 mpg (mainly city use).My cars got LUCAS injection which is more economical i'm told.Tim
