cars101 spec page has (for a 92 anyhow) Fuel economy: 17 city, 25 highway. 16 is normal. Better than I get, that's for sure.

If you're really that concerned about it, replacing the knock sensor and O2 sensor may help you out a bit. It also helps to not drive it like you stole it.

it might have a red wire coming out of it if they decided to use the optional setting. if they didnt you would have to take the ecm down and take the 4 screws out and look in it.
