My 94 CE vert sucks a lot more fuel than my 90 SPG. I haven't done the calculation because I really don't want to know. It's a pleasure only car, and is only driven a few times a week. I drive it FAST and mostly with the top down. Aerodynamics are probably pretty bad. I think verts are heavier than hardtops, too, right?
Also, is the tank smaller than a hardtop? seems I don't get many miles out of a tank, but then I'm only putting about 8-9 gallons in it instead of 12/13. That or my gas guage is goofy and I'm never getting down past 1/3 or 1/4.
I think mine could use a new O2 sensor. One of the readings was borderline during a smog test. The same reading dropped drastically when I changed the O2 sensor on my SPG. Maybe that will bring up the economy.
As for getting 30mpg from a C900... I'll never do it. I drive way too fast. I have no idea if it's possible in a 900T.
