1991 200 20v poor gas mileage...
Folks:
I need seem help in solving a problem with the 200 20v Wagon.
Car has 142k miles.
For the least 2 months or so, average gas mileage (mpg) has dropped
from 24 to about 20, for mixed driving, sometimes as low as 19.
I tend to drive with a light foot, for the most part.
Things that have been replaced on the car since I bought it last
year:
Plugs (platins), air filter, crankcase breather hose, cap & correct
rotor for the 3B engine, timing belt and water pump and O2 sensor.
I also ran a bottle of techron and run Mobil 1 15w50 with changes
every 4k miles.
Power seems ok, engine will pull 1.7 bar.
Ideas?
Thanks!
