I finally find out why my gas milage has been really bad. Beleave it or not it had nothing to do with vacuum hoses or trotle body although it would have been a good idea to clean it anyway. I was driving at night the other day and all of a sudden all the light went off for a second. Then the power door pop and I realized that whenever I pressed the brake paddle or the window switch it happen(power droped). Yesterday I went to my regular indi and sure enough the alternator was bad. So what happened was the computer got reset every so often that it hadn't had a chance give the correct reading. After a long drive this evening I finally have a steady and reasonable reading 11 liter/100km approx. = 21 miles/gallon.

Thanks again.
