    when you're at the gas station, just take the miles you drove since your last fill-up divided by how many gallons you just put in your car

    in the winter my gas milege drop a lot, i think it is because of the stuff they putt in the gas.
    i checked and yes on average i get around 29-30 mpg. it is avesome knowing that 16 year old car still runs like a new. i want to see any american car do that.

    I dirve like an a-hole and got at least 20mpg easy, no emissions controls, but it started getting worse (15 my last fill up!) and I knew something was wrong, found out today the booster in the primary bore was not screwed on all the way so the screw loosened a little more with engine vibration until it stopped running right. I had to remove the carb and drill out the damn choke plate rivets just to get to the stupid screw! I'll have to see what I get next time around
