Possible improvement
« on: 22 August 2008, 16:41:54 »

Before, my V6 was doing about 11mpg around town.

Now I've corrected cam timing, full service, and a new stat (it's getting up to temp now), I got 15.7mpg outta the last tankload around town, and 25.5 on a run.

Getting there!

I haven't done anything yet, as it's always been dark and raining when I get in :y

I want to clear the codes and see what returns, before I start playing with it...

Must admit, regardless of MPG, it's nice seeing it get up to temp so quickly, and remain so stable :y
