Re: Fuel economy - bad to worse
It could be the recent change in the fuel formulas.
Don't know if you are running the same thing we are here in the states, but
the new fuels decrease your mileage and sometimes as much as 5mpg like it
did in our Liberty.

What in the world are you saying here?... On the first score, you
started with the insulting in the other thread, on the second score: do
you not understand what sarcasm is?
You're a great help to a lot of people here over the years, I've nothing
against you personally except for the kooky fact that you think the
Carter BBD is better then anything created after it, inlcuding fuel
injection and several other much better working Carbs, like the popular
motorcraft and weber 2bbl swaps.
