High idle and poor gas milage.



<x-charset iso-8859-1>Thanks to all who replied about my high idle problem.  I checked for vacuum
leaks, and cured one, but there must be another somewhere, because it still
idles at 2000 rpm when warm.  Better than 2700 though.  I tried the "spray
carb cleaner on all of the vacuum connections" technique, but I didn't have
much luck hearing any change in idle speed.  My other problem is that I'm
only getting 21-22 mpg around town.  I could understand this figure if I had
a hot-rodded 2.0 16V, but it's just a stock 1.6 8V.  Can anyone tell me why
I'm getting this kind of gas mileage?  What can I do to improve it?

Thanks,

Ben R
