Re: Poor gas mileage

There's an easy way to warm the engine up. Get a piece of cardboard and block off about 2/3rds of the radiator. See what happens then. The engine will run hotter. If your fuel mileage remains the same then don't bother with the thermostat. Last time I checked I was getting 37MPG on the highway. 16MPG is pretty bad :-(
