non turbo, our 1993 2.1L automatic sedan gets about 22mpg highway, if it's flat + not loaded, going 75 mph. loaded + bikes + ski box on the roof (what the car normally looks like on the highway), barely 20 mpg, again, 75 mph no hills. our 1989 non turbo 2.0L automatic sedan got about 24-25 mpg averaged over a long highway trip including some hills. average speed was similar, but a touch slower (makes a difference) 70-75 mph, less on the hills.
In contrast, a 2004 9-5 I drove over 1000 miles highway (same route as the 1989 trip, with hills) averaged 32mpg + only got fuel twice (could have done it on 1 fillup). Totally effortless + fast! But the c900 is more raw, which makes it more fun!
fwiw, this is all from memory (so +/-1mpg), I have posted details before (as per that "mpg challenge")...
