42 mpg on new rebuild?atjunkie 10-02-2009, 07:33 AM 92 1.0-Stop and go, mostly mountains around here. Can I do better? quest4mpg 10-02-2009, 10:41 AM I know with new cars usually there is a break in period that the mpg isn't so good. It increases as the motor breaks in. leonbentz 10-02-2009, 02:07 PM Sounds to me that you're doing pretty good. About the same as what I get. Mine is Automatic with air.:smokin: Johnny Mullet 10-02-2009, 04:07 PM That car will need at least 1000 miles for it to break in. atjunkie 10-04-2009, 09:00 AM About 800 on it now Johnny. Before she went south I was getting 48mpg. 2 things that I changed were, the egr was plugged from the exh. all the way to back of the tb. That is clean now. And after replacing the distributor in the exact same spot as when removed, the timing was on 2btdc. Assuming the old t belt had some stretch, it may have been at 0 or some degree after??

Just a thought. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
