as r4sr said to add with it check your O2 sensor you can do it yourself using a mulitimeter to see if it's burning rich you can also check your spark plugs to give you an idea if it's burning rich also smell the exhause for gas

As the Swami said check your air flow. If the engine not getting enough air it will burn more fuel as a result. You should also check to see if the timing is off.

What exactly do you consider excessive? What's your mpg like?

Aaron 2NR · Postby **Aaron 2NR** » March 28th, 2007, 2:32 pm

i gettin am...bout 400km on 33 litres of gas....

Terran · Postby **Terran** » March 28th, 2007, 3:31 pm

... which I think is quite good... that's about 28mpg... in comparison to my old Toyota 2E which gave me 17-21 mpg and my 4AGE which gives me 22-24 mpg.

Do you run super or premium :?:

If super try the premium and you WILL see a difference in both performance and gas mileage.

Terran · Postby **Terran** » March 29th, 2007, 10:14 am

Years ago, I tried switching to Premium on my 2E and the beyotch burned more gas and lost power.

On the 4AGE, same thing. But, I maintain Premium because it pings with Super.

do a full service

Personally, your milage is good but you have to specify if this is more city or highway driving or what is the percentage mix. If this is mostly city, your milage is not good... it's excellent!

Ever did a compression test?

krack korn · Postby **krack korn** » April 9th, 2007, 12:04 pm

Terran, years ago super had lead, tetraethyl lead is one of the best octane enhancers around, today super doesn't have this and so the octane is a lot lower than it used to be.

I don't have the figures but I would bet that 'years ago' super was higher octane than the premium of the day. A lot of ppl reported better performance with leaded super, plus u had them nice colours on ur exhaust when the engine running good.

plus u had them nice colours on ur exhaust when the engine running good.

we still get those nice Colours wit d super now...but less performance

krack korn · Postby **krack korn** » April 10th, 2007, 2:11 am

what colours u getting with the super now?

If u getting colours then it means that the gas still has lead.

The colours were formed by deposition of oxides of lead.

Running super I only seeing black and rust (no soot) and before u say the car ent working good that is with 500Km to the tank in a B15 before the fuel light come on and I don't fill up the neck, click off and round up to nearest dollar. 75% Hwy and 25%trafffic. Vehicle has +100,000K.
