Delighted to break the 60 mile per gallon barrier with my 89 Toyota Corolla wagon. Fully loaded for camping vacation, skinny 155/80 tires, new coilovers all the way around lowered a little bit, a glass pack for a muffler, new air filter and recent oil change. Otherwise completely stock. I made this journey as I have found pretty much an exact duplicate for this wagon except it has factory air conditioning tilt wheel I have been making do with passenger seat unbolted for ice chest location powered by cigarette lighter and windows no more than one third down fans plugged into the cigarette lighter and not lowering the windows anymore than 1/3!
