Just a suggestion, my 95 had very bad fuel economy for a few weeks, about 10
mpg. When I got a check engine light, I found that the O-2 sensor was
unplugged. It has been better since.

|I've been getting something around 12 mpg lately, all city driving &
|usually mild to WOT acceleration. I noticed the same thing before any
|mod's last winter, when I was doing a lot of city driving for awhile
|too. If it werent for you guys my plan would be something like: stp
|fuel treatment or somethin, new o2 sensor, new plugs, new wires. Also
|thinkin about changing the air in the tires. I dunno, i'm more of a
|computer nerd than a mechanic. Help me out here. Six pack to the dmler
|with a correct diagnosis that saves me $$ on gas.

|ps: just kidding about the air/tires thing. :p
