I'm going to guess your 84 was a stick and your 89 an automatic? Those 3 speed c900 tranny's were not great for gas mileage on the highway. 20mpg was typical for ours. My 9-5 fuel economy is comparable to Fred's: better than 30 on the highway, closer to 25mpg around town. The 9-5 with a 2.3L is better in most practical respects than the c900, but the c900 is more fun (even though the 9-5 is faster, the c900 feels faster!)... In some respects, that is what matters!
