Not nearly as good as you might think. It comes from a serious lack of power, so it works much harder to maintain speed than a V6 or V8. My last 4 cyl Fox got around 16-17 in regular driving. My current '82, with the 302 and 4 speed manual, gets 23-25.

As stated the 4 cylinders don't do that great. I would look at a v8 car. My last fox with hci would knock down 27+ hwy regularly.

Agreed. Not very good mileage due to not being very efficient motors.

I liked the descriptions on the Caprice and the Nissan. The Caprice has some "pipes" and the Nissan has some "performance" done to the 1.6 but he doesn't remember what. Lol.
