PeterD Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 well i just got back from a little trip i took over this weekend...my 84 GL got 28.7 mpg, i went over two mountain passes and a few large hills, got stuck in traffic and drove on some old logging roads. not to bad i would say, 335 miles on one tank.

Turbone Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 Well, I'm impressed. After the trouble you had trying to get it to run right, you actually went and drove it that far without any troubles You did a good job on the carb rebuild and it was your first one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUVMYBRAT Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 do you have a hicrappy on for your carburator? mine sucks gas bad!! I've done the secondary mod to it but it could use a rebuild I'm sure, I bet I only get 12-18 at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
