I have gotten as much as 30 mpg in the past. Right now I'm getting about 22 and can't figure out why. I just replaced and balanced the i/p and timed it by the book. Put in my best 5 injectors. Did the valves. It runs fantastic! But my mileage is still in the low 20's. The good mileage was in the bad snowy weather when I had to go slow. Bogy. btw, my rubber "throttle" linkage connector tore on me last summer. Fortunately I have a parts car and a lot of parts. --- On Thu, 4/7/11, Nate <vwnate1@yahoo.com> wrote: < snippage> > BTW :the *instant* you go faster than 60 MPH , the fuel > economy drops off sharply.... down into the low 20's in fact > , remember this . > > -Nate
