* Driving habits: Aggressive acceleration and high speeds drastically reduce fuel economy.
* Vehicle condition: Proper maintenance (tune-up, tire pressure, etc.) significantly impacts MPG.
* Terrain: Driving in hilly or mountainous areas will lower MPG compared to flat terrain.
* Payload: Hauling heavy loads reduces fuel economy.
However, you can expect a combined city/highway MPG in the range of 10-14 mpg. It's more likely to be on the lower end of that range in real-world driving conditions. The EPA estimates from that era are generally optimistic compared to actual driver experience.
