why am i only getting 19mpg (86 gl wagon)
since i have no carbs, beside my brat, try some sea foam in the carb, it's like 5 bucks at napa , pour it into the carb and kill the motor ,let it set 15- 20 min , it will smoke alot , so do it outside , is the timming right? are you running cheaper gas? there are other board members that will disgree ,but running higher octine always help my carb motor , maybe it is just me but i buy my gas from shell in all my subaru's
