The Milage Question?
I have heard a lot about the reason there is such a wide range in the fuel economy.
I have heard the ECU keep the mixture rich which is why the FE is so bag when the car is new and gets better as you pack on the miles. In my case I started around 14 MPG and was averaging 16+ mpg around town. But on a recent trip to the Bay Area my fuel economy got better and better with each fill up. It went from 17.5, 18.3, 18.8, and 19.6 MPG. I have also heard that the people who were getting there engines replaced due to the seal leak were getting remarkably better power and fuel economy. Still there are other out there who seem to have the phenomenal mileage up into the 30 MPG range. It would be interesting to see where the rest of you are. Can you please give Manufacture date, Mileage, and MPG. So I can start a log?

If you do a search you will see that a very detailed thread on this subject has already been started. It would be nice if it was a sticky to make it easier to find.
