Sorry

There is one naysayer here. Back when my 93 Dak was stock my mechanic put a
180 t-stat on my 318 and it cost me about one mile per gallon (measured over
the course of about five 22 gallon tankfulls). Today I put in a 180 t-stat
because with the tinkering I have been doing I am getting pinging and so I
am willing to lose some mileage (probably not now that the engine is running
more efficiently) for a better performing engine.
