Crappy MPG? Question: This weekend i made two trips from Roseburg Oregon to Eugene Oregon. It's about 180 miles round trip each time. So thats around 360 miles, plus the driving i did in town. All together i went 450 miles. My car (1989 Ford Tunderbird) is supposed to get 27 on the freeway, but i have gotten 30 before. This weekend, it seemed to be sipping a bit more than it should. I went around 75mph the whole time. What could cause my Mpg to drop? It had a recent tune up and i keep everything up as well as i can.
-The exhaust tip has a black ring around it, that wasnt there before this weekend.
- When my front rotors get wet, they steam, but i cant feel them dragging, and the car seems to have the same amount of power.
Thats about all i can think of...
Answer:
i own a repair shop,,and its possible they may have not gotten the plugs gaped right in it,,this is usually what causes this to happen when they run black like that around the exhaust,you might wan to have it checked out,they may have also used a cheaper plug i it also cheap plugs don't fire good,,id have it checked out,,good luck,i hope this help,s.,,have a good x-mas.
