Fuel Question
Okay i have a 90 lx 4dr and i have a fuel problem.
Okay when i got this car the lady that owned it always used premium fuel in the car and then about a year when the gas prices jumped she went down to using Regular. Okay when i got it i was just using regular and i was getting like 35 mpg. literally. On regular Okay i want more power so im using premium now and i get like 20-25 mpg tops. Whats the deal? Someone said i have to reset the ecu when you change the types of gas or what should i do? The only mods i have to my car are headers, exhaust, cai. Any thoughts Thanks!!!! |

Re: Fuel Question
Ocatne levels really wont matter in a stock low compression engine. The reason your getting worse mpg is because of the I/H/E - you drive it like its a race car, I would guess.
Is the vehicle current on maintenance? Plugs, cap/rotos, fuel filter, etc. . . |

Give it a tuneup and see what happens.
Plugs, cap and rotor, O2 sensor, fuel filter, etc
