Er..  I don't really know.  I've never dared to measure it because I'm sure 
it's not great. I'd guess about 35 mpg on the highway more like 20-25 around 
town. Maybe less if the traffic's really bad. It's a bit of a gas-guzzler 
and I can only justify driving it to myself because of my relatively low 
mileage.
