NICE. Really good results.

My dad had a 1970 96, I learned to drive in that car. The driving tester did NOT know quite what to make of it, a four-speed manual shifter on the column.

Not trying especially hard, Dad was able to get 40mpg on long trips. I always suspected somebody could get respectable numbers out of a 96 if we could just get the car and an enthusiast in the same place at the same time, and here you are.

Thanks for sharing!
