Gas Mileage
I got 26m.p.g. out of my first tank on my 2000 SE with manual tranny, and that was with temps in the mid-30's. Should be better in the summer....
Most of my driving is country highways (55mph) so my mileage should be pretty good.

22 straight beating it.........24 normal average, 27+ highway 5spd, open exhaust, short-ram intake. ****ty MPG could be many things. Old spark plugs, carbonization, tb needs cleaning, cat is blocked. If I got less than 20 with the max I'd be looking for a reason......

I know my car is healthy becuz this one time....i filled up my tank all the way.... I drove 160 miles ALL highway at 75-80mph the whole day....and my DTE read 275miles left......and my fuel needle was still very high.....i'd say a tad under 3/4th mark......so I know my car is healthy even tho my city mileage is crap....
If i drove all city on a hot summer day i will get 16mpg....
P.S. i do a few WOT runs here and there.....i don't drive like a granny.....but at the same time I don't drive like I stole it
I used seafoam a few weeks ago thinking (hoping and praying is more like it) that it would help but it did nothing really. I gotta figure how to get better MPG. I used to haul *** everywhere but I am a much more calm driver these days, yet the mileage hasnt improved.
I've had my SES light on for pretty much forever. I know the code, its a P0420, but i havent had the time to take care of it. Will an update to the ECU help?
Any ideas?
