  • 20 MPG 89 Auto

    What do you think could be causing this? The vaf moves freely, the exhaust is split around the cat, and it has metro 13s. The suspension and brakes are stock. I know the tank leaks a bit, but only if it's above three-quarters.

        The temp gauge never climbs off 0. I figured it was bad thermostat.

          You can't actually calculate mileage if you can't fill it up...

            Check your ignition system, especially the advance. May also want to pull a compression test.

              I can fill it up. It just has a slight leak. Like barely anything... maybe lost 1/10 of a gallon over the 2 hour period it stays above 3/4.

                  I actually have a spare. I just haven't had time to install it.
