check your tire pressure and consider replacing the o2 sensor. Those are really the two main factors that affect mpg on an older car.
but 25mpg is not bad. you are probably driving more city than highway. This post has been edited by lagos: Sep 13, 2011 - 7:38 PM -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
