want to save gas? take the bus.... seriously if mileage is a big issue..one should not drive an SVX...heavy car..awd...big engine...its not a Geo Metro..cant expect miracles...now the RX-7's ive owned got horrible gas mileage...and didnt perform too well for such bad mileage..my SVX gets about 23-25mpg average and I drive 'spirted'..my Probe got about the same and performed less..it balances out for me
