I've been wondering about fuel consumption myself. I have a 1995 2.3na 900
S, and I get scarcely better than 20 mpg between tanks. Could a faulty
catalytic converter have this kind of an effect? I noticed a "rotten eggs"
sulfury smell a couple times when I first got the car, but not since then.
I've owned the car about 9 months now.
