My car is 1995 960 Wagon.

Last month I drove the wife, 2 kids, and myself, and all of our junk, along with a not-very-aerodynamic Thule cargo carrier up to Door County, WI for a week's vacation with the A/C blasting all the way there and back. I used the cheapest low-octane fuel due to its relative affordability, although I usually run a mid-grade with 15% ethanol blend.

We average about 23.75 mpg.

Most of the time the car is used to chauffer the toddlers on short trips around town and we only get about 17 mpg.

Wish I got better mileage, but a new car payment would cost much more than what I'm paying to fill the tank on this gas guzzler.
