i have been watching my mpg... it was at like 13mpg!!! that was awfull but then i realized my floats were full and the car was starting to drive like crap.... i got a rebuilt carb from a guy on here.. and now im geting right at 20mpg.... it sucks cause my girlfriend always wants to take her civic when we go on road trips cause it gets better gas millage.... but i always want to drive the 7 cause its wy more fun... i have a stock 12a no emissions.. header back exh. with blaster coils.. new ngk plugs, new wires and an oil change..... i also shift around 2-3000rpms... i do need to get an alignment though... i think i run at about 32psi in my tires.

Wow I need to check whats wrong with my car, my 12a stockport on my toyota starlet just gave me less than 10miles/gal, was around 7miles/gal.

It is stock carb, racing beat header, no emissions....anyone can point me in the right direction of what I need to check first?

Thanks.
