decrease in gas mileage from 25MPG to 20MPG 200 1989

Hello ... Sounds like there is something fishy in your braking system? If you notice a slowing down instead of coasting and less acceleration, be suspicious. On my Turbo I often am amazed at the ability for these Swedish cars to coast. Have you done anything to the brakes or emergency brake? After coasting to a stop get out and lightly feel all the rotors for temperature. Use the emergency brake to make the final stop. A sticking caliper will be warmer than the rest. Good Luck and GREAT noticing that your car is trying to tell you something. Gary at Ggaryboy@aol.com
