Well I have to add my 2 cents. I average 16-18 mpg in my 86 Gl Automatic. This is my daily driver mostly city driving. It has a transplanted 87 engine with drippy heads when temp is below 40' , slow to shift trans cold in the morning with mobile one,spark plugs that are 5 years old( gaped and oil change every 3k), running on p205/70-14 at 32psi.A.C compressor disconnected ( 2- 40 cooling ) I do not mess with any thing unless it is broken. oh ya one more thing I bougt it from a friend! 4 years ago Out of pocket expence since ownership is $1,100.00 . I have acess to several parted out vans so it helps keep the cost down. Jim Morgan 86Gl auto "breadbox" Westlake,Ohio |
