Yikes! What's the point of driving a Festiva @ that MPG? I pull 25MPG with my 1983 Toyota 4x4 truck with a 22R Carbed motor. Unless theres some good reason (like you only have one-leg, or one arm...or you're female) 5-speed is the only way to go.Because....45 MPG.

Does a new timing belt really help mpg that much? I dont see how, if the old one is keeping the timing correct there shouldnt be any loss, right?
I lost the timing belt on my tbird once, no fun. The ONLY time I was left stranded in that car. I should have had it changed long before that. Timing belt is one item you NEED to change on a regular basis.91GL BP/F3A with boost

MPG & timing?

I was wondering if the wear on an older timing belt could delay or prematurely start valve openings? Anyhow, 50MPG tanks are here again & I have fallen in love with my Festiva all over again.
