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
