Sorry, but I don't think there is any way you can possibly get 42 mpg no matter how you drive the car ... unless you're coating down a 50 mile hill with the tranny in neutral. These cars are rated at 30 mpg, so you might get 32 mpg at best, but no way 42 mpg. You need to rethink on how you are calculating your gas mileage.

My 94 gets a consistent 25 to 26 mpg with 70% hiway ... so I can see it getting 30 mpg with 100% hiway, but no way will it ever get 42 mpg.

Please explain how you've calculated to arrive at 42 mpg ... if that's the case then you could theoretically get 650 miles on a tank of gas.
