I drive my 1984, 900 around the Kansas City area, which has alot of highways, so I would say my drivng pattern is about 50/50 city/highway. My odometer has never worked since I aquired the car in 1999, at 127K, so I can never really check my gas milage out.
There is evedence that I am getting crappy milage (I think) because every Friday, I top off the tank and drive 160 miles round trip to pick up my son for my weekend visit. The gauge always ends up in between 1/2 and 1/4.
Most of the posted speed limit is 70 mph, so I would say, that, is my average speed. Is this a normal amount of fuel to burn at that speed and for that many miles? I just put new Bosch +4 Platinum plugs in. Should I go for a new distributer cap and rotor, plug wires, O2 sensor? Where should I stop on my own and have a garage connect diagnostics and life support up to it?
