oooooohhh That would explain alot.. Actually I have been taking it easy.. The car has a New O2 sensor.. Hmmm.. Maybe if I added stickers all over the place it would increase my horse power and get me better mileage.....

My 88 vert has been getting 13 mpg also. It has a gas smell to it sometimes, is it my injectors?

it might be your pulsation damper, fix it before the car burns down

My vert gets shitty milage too. I dont know what it is. Driving around town I will get about 200 miles on a tank of gas. Oh well though.



Also make sure you check your pulsation damper if you smell gas. You dont want an engine fire. There have already been way too many of those.

My vert also gets **** mileage. I thought it was the streetport that made it such a pig, but I guess I'm not the only one getting 13 mpg.

Geez....the absolute worst mileage I get with my TII is 17mpg, and that's with the hammer down at every opportunity. I wonder if I'm running lean.

Fuel economy has never been a strong point of a rotary, I averaged 160 miles per tank of fuel, but the throttle was either on or off.

Is the PD going to leak when the car is turned off sitting still or is it something that you will only see when the car is running and the fuel is under pressure?
