Re: [DML] gas mileage anyone?

[Creator Of Magic <powerpc@xxxx>]

I get around the same milage [18 - 20]. I havn't noticed a great 
amount of difference with better octane fuels, but I have noticed 
performance increased with 94 octane. The best thing to remember is 
the DeLorean is not a sports car, and as long as you do not hog the 
engine you'll get good milage, as you would on any car that isn't being 
ragged when driven.

Hope this helps,

Michael
