Nope.We took a 7200 mile honeymoon trip through 19 states on regular US highways, almost no Interstates, through every small town from Phoenix though Wyoming and across the Chicago, up to Northern Michigan, down to Florida and across back to Phoenix. Spent 1 week around Chicago with family, then 4 days with family in Northern Michigan driving all local surface street miles. Averaged 25.5 MPG for the trip, door to door. We held around 70 MPH, and had the A/C on most of the way. There was a lot of mountain driving in the West but mostly flat once we left the Dakotas.
I averaged 18 to 21 mpg mixed city driving, surface streets and freeways, and even got 22.5 for 3/4 of a tank one time here in Phoenix for the past 4 years. 5,000 mile OCI produced no oil consumption at all. In fact,I didn't change oil on the 7200 mile trip, and no measurable oil was burned.
When I traded it, it did need some work. It needed an MAF, fuel pump and module, valve cover gasket, A/C blower motor, and tires. Beyond that, everything worked, including the power antenna and 10 disc trunk mounted CD changer. The paint was tired though, getting thin and full of stone chips on the front and mirrors, it had a scuff on the rear bumper on the driver's side, and the paint on the front bumper was cracked from idiots running into it in parking lots.
For someone who could do the work on it, it would have been an excellent buy.
That was a GREAT '94 Q45t.I miss her, and so does my wife.
