Whats great is my baby at almost 20 only has 115K on it and still gets 25 mpg! and thats with its share of problems! (and a muffler almost completely rusted through at one joint!)
www.fueleconomy.gov rates the my old 89' with the 2.5 at 19/24mpg city/hw.
That sounds about what I used to get. That's not bad for an old v6, but more than I wanted to pay.
It is an awesome engine though, with a manual and turbo it would be a blast to drive. Turbocharging the car won't give you better fuel economy though, you will be adding more air into the cylinder, more fuel will be added also so you have a correct mixture.
