Hello. For the past month or two my '86 sedan stick shift with 187,000 miles on it has been getting very good mpg at highway/fast non stop driving speeds (29mpg) but at local/around town/stop & start driving speeds I am getting bad mpg(22 mpg). I do realize that higher speed/fast versus local driving their would naturally be a difference. However seems 7mpg is a big difference. Also I used to get 24 to 25mpg with local driving. What happened ? What should I check and adjust or replace to help remedy this matter ? Thanks in advance for suggestions, advice, help.
