Gas Mileage is down the crapper - 08/31/02 03:15 PM
My motto: Fill it till you get wet, so I know I don't have an air bubble problem. However. I have a 2000 zetec atx with vct and I'm only getting 270-ish miles to a 15.8 gallon tank. Roughly translated, that's 16 mpg! I live on flat land, I have a new fuel filter, air filter, autolite doubleplats, the car only has 20k on it.and i drop a bottle of techron at every oil change. I just don't get it. The only thing that i can think of is that I need a new o2 sensor, but there's no cel. The only other clue I have is that I get that "spent fuel" smell at startup from the pipe. Anyone? anyone?
