I owned one for about a yr and it got considerably good mpg @ 33-34 hwy. with just a few basic aero mods I could see it achieving 40mpg pretty easily.

Motor Week magazine gave a Cd of .29 for that car " no matter how wide the tires ."
I've wondered if that was just b.s., since the tires are not hidden in any way.
This was still back in the days when car manufacturers still bragged about their Cd figures.
