In my 92 Grand Prix I average about 23-25mpg. Thats a mix of city and highway driving. Every week when I fill it up I divide the miles on the tripmeter by the gallons I need to put in to fill it up.

First off, when I first looked at this post earlier today I thought it was asking what my Average MPEG was... and I wondered how you'd answer that.
Anyways, it is disturbing to see all these 20MPG. It is disturbing. My father used to have this car, it was from 79 forget the name. Fast little thing though, we called it his Rocket Car. The thing got about 40-50 MPG. Where'd those cars go?
Also why is it a car made circa 67' or the likes still fixable today and driveable... but if you have a 98' Honda Civic/Saturn S1/Ford escort... the likes... the thing will break down every 50 miles no matter how much work you put into it!

How heavy was it? With all the emphesis on crash safety it wouldn't surprise me if modern cars were heavier. Also environmental controls tend to rob a bit of power so you'll need to use more gas to get the same performance with them in place.
My 97 Saturn SL2 has been reliable, check engine light came on a few days ago, but I think it's just bad wiring to one of the environmental sensors because it has been coming on every time there's a real heavy rain (which would suggest broken insulation leading to a short).
Both my cars have been very reliable. My previous car, a 1988 Honda Accord LX, was great. I had it until 2000. Only reason I got rid of it was an accident that totaled the vehicle. Other than traditional maintenence, only major fix was the fuel system. A design flaw caused a hole to rust and then allowed debris to get into the fuel tank.

Yeah hehe, if you have ever looked under the hood of a classic car you can see right down to the ground, very little other than the engine under the hood. Cars today... good luck so many electronics/features/polluton controll all you see is parts!
I often wondered how a catalytic converter could really help much, sure it absorbs pollution, but you need to burn more gas to make up for the power loss..
