Ok so this isn't your standard "how can I get better gas mileage" thread. I know what I bought and I love it!
However.... 2005 with 250k miles. I'm averaging 10mpg when 95% of the time I'm driving miss daisy. 80/20 city/highway. I live in hilly Seattle. Occasional throttle goosing but I don't know that it really ever goes much past 3k rpm. I have the 420/430 codes, but that's all I can attribute to this. I changed my valve cover and it fixed the smoke issue so that's not messing with the af mix anymore. New pcv, New plugs.
Thoughts? Regular gammit of cleaning maf etc? Or are the codes my biggest problem? I mean, 10mpg at times okay fine, but AVERAGE? I put in 22 gallons yesterday with 225mi on the trip odo...
