[Shotimes] Gen II ATX Questions

[Paul & Rosetta Thomas]

Al,

I get about 26mpg with my '93 ATX with bolt-on stage options and using 87
octane when driving 70-75mph.  If I bump it up from there to 80-90mph, I'll
average 24mpg.  These figures are with the AC on.

I've added an after-market 10 disc CD changer in the trunk and I keep the
controller for it in the little covered cubby hole in the dash by the radio
so no one looking in the car realizes it is there.

Good luck,

Paul Thomas
