I picked up a 2000 lpt 5-speed with 116K as a repairman's special for less than $2,000. Working my way to having it road worthy with replacement of fluids and filters I'm finding it quite fuel efficient.Got a nice jump from 37.5 mpg 50 miles all highway at 62 mph average speed to 39.8 mpg(39.7 was more photogenic with the lack of working pixels). A good alignment after lowering an inch with Eibach springs and a sticking front caliper replacement gave me an honest 2 mpg jump.
