Hello,
Can't figure out why i only make 15mpg (combined
already did the usual:
changed oil, new plugs, new air filter, rebuilt tranny, fuel filter still good, O2 sensor still good, factory psi on tires, new suspension and newly aligned , new TBelt, seldom use AC since onset of cooler weather. Spark plug wires, rotors and caps looks ok. Are there symptoms of bad wires, O2 sensors or fuel filter? Car runs strong but gas mileage sucks! Should i change the O2 sensors, high tension wires and fuel filter?
thanks for any inputs ..
