Yes, it is certainly NOT the most fuel-efficient car I have ever owned, but
I only drive 20 miles to work, and on a warm day, with the roof off and the
radio cranking, it is worth the premium price I pay to drive it!

Mine's an '88, non-Turbo with the sport roof. I don't know how much weight
having the removable panel adds, but the car weighs 4400 LBS!!!!!

It gets about 18 MPG, but I also have a leaky fuel tank, so I am losing some
to evaporation. The new tank (NO aftermarket, Toyota only, $336!!!) get
installed Saturday...
