Re: Why no fuel effecient Jeep?
I was wondering that too.
Then try running a leaner idle mix maybe and see what it smells like?
I have to bump up the idle speed while leaning it to keep it running.
Something like a long six is supposed to have a bit of a rumble in it
for best lean. If you make it purr, it will be too rich and it will
stink.
