Gentlemen:
I checked for threads on improving gas mileage. Didn't see much. Did I miss them?
Anyway, I'm not foolish enough to expect good/great mileage from my baby. But she only gets about 10 MPG in mixed city/road driving. Maybe 12 or so on the road.
Is this to be expected? I see posts where c-body owners talk about numbers much higher, yet with the same engine. I wonder how they do that.
I recently disconnected my lean burn, moving to an orange box system and keeping the TQ carb. The engine seems to be in good tune. Besides the obvious stuff, like keeping the tires inflated correctly, is there anything I'm missing?
I'm happy with my baby as she is, but like anyone, if I could get better mileage w/o spending a ton of money, I would do it.
Ideas?
Thanks
