94 mpg

I averaged 52 mpg at the 55-mph speed limit over 365,000 miles.
With the streamliner package it went to 60.8 mpg in 1990.
On three occasions,the 'naked' car achieved its EPA HWY 62-mpg at 55-mph.
On one occasion,from Cloudcroft,New Mexico,to Denton,Texas,with a beautiful S-W quartering tailwind I got 82-mpg.I went back to the same station,same pump the next day and attempted to top-off the tank.It wouldn't accept any fuel at all with 6-miles on the trip odo.
I have the high-altitude gearing and turn a couple hundred extra rpm than the 49-state CRX 1.3-liter.
