Well i drive a 97 GT, bone stock 5sfe w/ bosh plat. +4's, Injen shortram, Greddy sp catback, and DG performance Test pipe .... and on a full tank of 92 Shell V-power i'm getting less that 300 miles to the tank :'( .
What should i look at first? The plugs? ... O2 sensor? i know i have a small exhaust leak somewhere, but it couldnt cause all that. Any suggestions? --------------------  |

just look at your car manual, da.
I drive A LOT of highway miles, and i am VERY aggresive (city some, country-roads a lot). I'm pretty sure i've been touching 22 mpg or so on 87. I did have an exaust leak (the ass-end weld of the flex pipe seperated/broke) and i was experiencing 16-18 mpg, 90 % highway (75-80 mph). So yeah, i feel like my post is pointless, oh well, good luck. --------------------  The most important lesson I learned from Karate-Dō Kyōshan – “You can not be what you do not believe you are” |
