Getting 8 MPG !!!! HELP !!!!
I just came back from Knoxville, TN, and on my way home to Ohio, I got 13.9 MPG highway and once in town, i got 8.8 MPRG in the city !!! I usually get 21 highway MPG and 15 city MPG! From what I can see, the fuel pump isnt leaking b/c that was the cause last time i got such horrible gas mileage. Other than that, everything appears to be working properly. I have no idea what it could be!!!! HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is it the stock carb? If so, the O2 sensor has a lot to do with it.

It is the stock carb. How does the O2 sensor affect it?
