Basically I'm saying I couldn't even dream of 20mpg city but that my be just me DX
Not enough spark can definitely cause bad gas mileage among other things. I am able to get over 20 mpg with no problem with any of my SVXi that I have. And average 30-32 mpg with the laguna fwd, even with the a/c on. When running right, they can get good gas mileage as well.
