tractor pole Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 So I might have a chance to buy a 80 or 81 gl-5 wagon, What kind of mileage can I expect from a fwd 1600 manual wagon? Let's just say its a good price and its a clean eastern Oregon car with very little rust and little to 0 body damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So possibly that or better depending on your driving and the engine condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
