Default Another gas mileage thread

I used to get 400km out of a full tank, now I get 180km out of the first quarter of the tank, any idea what's up with that?




Ok, I wanted to let it run for a bit but I am pretty busy these days so I will tell you what's up. I fixed the plenum, new timming set, spark plugs, wires, coil, cap and rotor.

So to all of you out there who want to spend your money on cool looking aftermarket parts, performance upgrade and shiny things, I strongly suggest that you wait until you have your truck maintenance up to date, you will have more money in your pockets in the long run. I know it's probably been mentioned many times but I had to do it to. Big thanks to all of you who replied to all my post, DF is the best.

Finally I found a use for the OEM plenum plate.

How old is your O2 sensor? If recently replaced, what brand?
