high mileage gas mileage....??


Recommended Posts

Driving style is a big factor.

I found the temp sensor on my 93 Impreza was a factor even though the sensor didn't throw a code.

What about carbon build up on the intake valves? Maybe a throttle stomp with every tank full will blow some carbon out. Isn't this carbon build up a common problem?

I also recommend Lubrilon engine treatment. http://www.xcelplus.com/products.htm

I think it is good for older high mileage engines.

I have used it in 2 cars now with good improvement in mpg.

 

Take care,

 

John

No I have no idea. How would I find out?

 

On level ground on the highway, are the RPMS always "normal"? If they run higher or occasionally shoot up for no apparent reason on level ground, there's a problem. It's the auto version of a slipping clutch, sort of, though I don't think it's common at all.
