Re: gas mileage followup



I attribute my crappy mileage to having NO oxs sensor, mixture set at like
4.5%, and some kind of full time enrichment via resistor(?) on a water temp
sensor, uh, and of course da boost. The PO did every (bizarro) thing one
could do to richen up the mixture. I can't complain though, the car runs
like a raped ape, with 8-10 lbs boost, and never any pinging.
