Check here for mileage,. http://www.fordpinto.com/smf/index.php/topic,4614.msg27740.html#msg27740
As for what to do to get better mileage, tuneup, air filter, tire pressure, carb adjustments, oil & other fluid changes, check the brakes for dragging (you may not feel it but they could be).
Pretty much any maintenence that needs done to the car will help it out.
Well, my 75 gets 17 on the highway. :embarassed:
It should get a little better in the city but I don't know the exact number.
Nothing compared to today's hyrbids, thats for sure.
But still fun to drive.
My yellow car:
2.3T EFI (not fully stock), 86 T/C T-5, 3.40 gears, 215-60 14"s, gets 35 hwy.
Connie's car:

(Now) 2.3T EFI (stock + factory roller cam), C3, 3.0 gears, 195-70 13"s gets 26 hwy.
