Should be getting well above that.

How long has it been since you've changed spark plugs, wires, distro cap, distro rotor, filters, ect? Seafoamed?

I run 32s mostly city and still get like 17 mpg combined.

Hey guys can you keep the fuel economy stuff to one of the thousands of threads already dedicated to it?

Bought new valve cover gasket yesterday, the nice FelPro one, and started prep on my newish JY valve cover.

Two weeks ago I put in new new cap rotor plugs and wires. Air filter too. I'm going to go do the fuel filter tonight. You think 703 injectors would help?
