The short 10-15 minute trips help as well. I have been driving a bit more spirited though lately.

If you remember when I was chasing down a misfire issue at idle, I switched to Cheveron with Tectron afterwards. The misfires decreased but my mileage increased to. I was getting like 16mpg and like 275 miles per tank (crappy!). Now I'm up to about 19.5mpg and I'm about to see how many miles I get over 300 in this tank. 325 should be about 19mpg. Not great but I do a lot of short trips and city driving too.

So I guess it was due to dirty injectors. This wknd I'm going to change the fuel filter and air filter as well. That combined with the plugs, vac lines, and CP's I've already changed, will be just about everything that could be suspect. Hopefully, these last two items will yeild more improvement.

Like Shwndh said, use Chevron gasoline or atleast throw in a bottle of Chevron Techron fuel system cleaner.

SilverSchwinn

either.

would be good. I think its mostly the city driving though, because a lot of that milage is like stop and go or heavy traffic lights. I went to get a wash and the mail on Saturday and it took me about 45 minutes to travel about 10-12 miles.

The last road trip I did I think I was in the 25+ MPG range averaging close to 70 MPH. Car runs like a dream on the HW!

I am going to put in a bottle of the Chevron with Techron at my next fill up.

When I'm up at school I get about 160 miles on a tank with all city driving
