Gas Mileage, what's normal?
I'm kinda new to the rx world but i've got a '91 with a racing beat cat back and a k&n cone filter, other than that i'm stock right now. temporary i assure you.
my problem is this. i'm only getting about 12-15 mpg and i know that cant be right.
does anyone out there have any suggestions on how i can improve my fuel consumption.
thnx

you can replace the fuel filter and clean the injectors. those 2 things should help some with fuel economy. also, how hard do you drive the car cuz that has a big effect on your mileage.
EDIT: also have you checked to make sure the spark plugs and wires are in good condition? if not make sure to do that.

Thanks for the post
any suggestions on fuel filters??
as far as how i drive, i know it is a bit harder than is necessary. but even when i slow it down and drive with less intensity my fuel consumption still doesnt improve a whole lot.
my plugs are fairly new (3 months) NGK's and i have a set of magnecore wires.
