Well lately my car has been running kinda rough. But when I had 14 inch wheels and the 5 speed I was getting killer gas mileage! I drove a total of 200 something miles one weekend and I used up 3/4 of a tank.
I could drive it around town and fill up every 2.5 or 3 weeks.

no kick. The throttle is like a wet noodle on these cars. I have squawked the tires on my duke before. Not much though, because Ive got some wide tires on Formula 16 inchers.
My car can cruise on the open road very well. Ive got a 5 speed in mine so the extra gear really helps out. My car was originally a 4 speed.
