If you mean the Tach cluster....you undo the speedo cable at the tranny...take the bezel off around the speedo....remove the 4 screws holding the speedo in and pull it forward until you can get your hand behind it and unclip the speedo cable and 2 plugs.....then pull it out and replace away."FLTG4LIFE" @FINALLEVEL , "PBH"

36 is decent for the 4 speed....driving habits would be what net you more mpg's at this point I would think."FLTG4LIFE" @FINALLEVEL , "PBH"

Also make sure your rear bearings and/or brakes aren't dragging.90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods

36 maybe at the limit depends a lot on the geography of your drive on a tank.
All highway wth a single startup and shut down and < 60 MPH will give you max MPG.
Lots of city with stop/go, stop lights, traffic, ideling and low temps will kill MPG.
Check your tire pressure.
I use max side wall pressure.
The ride is harsh, but no one ever said Max MPG was going to be painless!
Also, slow down, Max MPG is below 60 MPH, lower is better!'93 Blue 5spd 230K(down for clutch and overall maintanence)
