Now you're scaring me. I had been thinking of getting a little nicer / newer 850 (which has the same interference engine.....right? ??) to replace my old 740. I may re-think that.

But in the mean time........ I am curious what kind of gas mileage you 850 / 70 series folks are getting, both for turbo and normally aspirated versions.

TIA.....Ron Jansen in Lenexa

I'm getting 22 in town, 25-26 on the highway on our 96 850R.  It's never going to get great gas mileage, being a heavy car and a relatively small displacement...
