Default After purchasing a CQ a couple of weeks ago I observed gas mileage of around 16 mpg

Since then I have fixed a busted rear muffler, done TB, water pump, cam seal, crank seal, thermostat and changed plugs.

My MPG has improved fifty percent to 24.1 mpg. I will do the O2 sensor and oil change next weekend when my busy period at work ends.

Just thought I'd share.
