    Thats actually pretty good for a car this age. I kept thinking, about tuned diesel trucks who run 12's in the quarter mile with a few bolt-ons and a tune. How cool would it be to see a turbo diesel galant smoke black out the tail paipe and its gone! Lol!

    And for those who saw the numbers and still said, "what does that mean?"

    The average is about 36.5mpg with a best of 41.4mpg.

    i keep this car in mint condition, im always doing tune ups to it recently I've replaced the glow plugs, the radiator hoses, diesel filter and some other stuff. in just 2 years i have a lot of history with this car. ill post pictures and write about it when i can. about the black smoke im always dreaming on performing a vw tdi swap or another powerful diesel engine but its almost impossible on my country because of regulations on tuning. but i have a spare 4d68t almost brand new maybe i could bore the engine block to 2.2l im not sure if tis possible i would need a lot of help =)
