89 LX 5.0 Hatchback - 3 chamber Flowmasters, alum driveshaft, 225/60R16 tires, 9% speedometer error, removed air resonator, stock 3.08 gears, no spare (other misc junk taking it's place), 13-14 degrees base timing, 93 octane.

21-23 mpg (after 9% correction) driving 100 miles round trip to work, 80% highway miles plus minor local night and weekend driving.

Some tuning needs to be done, I get some high rpm knock in 3rd under hard accel.
