I used to have a '92 Roadmaster wagon! That's one of the boats I had in mind when I said I had other big cars that got better mileage! Its was way better on gas than that Firebird.

On my trip from cali back home to new york a few years back when the monte was still stockish i was getting 24-26 mpg the whole way.Had a v6 dakota that weighted 500lbs less that couldn't get 20mpg highway.Some times a bigger or stronger engine will get better mpg.
