Well I have done it. My Suburban gets between 12 +14 mpg best ever 14.5 mpg. I bought a 1984 Toyota Celica about a 6 weeks ago and have gotten it running pretty good now with three tanks through it now.

I got my best tank to date @just over 26 mpg almost double what my Sub gets.
I replaced the cat about half way through the tank, wow what a differance.
The car is still not running @100% but it is getting there. My goal is to get 30 mpg combined maybe 40 w 100% highway.
