Gas mileage

[Grant Lenahan]

Not a lot of help - but you're burning too much fuel. The question is 
"why?".

- compression problem (unlikely and bad)
- o2 sensor
- vacuum leak
- mixture control unit (this is pre MAF right?)

How's it run? Strong?

Any stumbling?

Done an emissions test? They can be useful.
