Driven aggressively, he's getting around 20. The tire diameter factored
in, his car is close to what you cite.

I'm curious what others get in around
town driving for this configuration car. Specific year is '99.
Also, if someone knows about how larger wheels and tires affect the
speedo/odo with regards to MPG, the car has 17" wheels with 205 45 17
tires. Thanks!
