Haha wow i have no idea what's going on there. Maybe it's just spam or something. Anyway Matt, is this the first time recently that you have had this low of MPG?

Also so you know, me and a few WAFTE members are meeting on the 14th which is a friday at around 6pm, and we are meeting at a Round Table joint in Renton. The address is over in the meet thread. So far me and 2 other people plan to go, then one other guy will probably try to make it. If you don't have anything to do and are able to make it you should try. I don't know if you have your lisence yet or not.

I would offer the same thing to you 1ton but NJ is a bit far from washington You could still drive over here and meet if you would like to

It's been a while, but just recently it's been worse. I will have my license by April, probably earlier than that. But I don't trust my self driving by my self lol. There are times where I have gone in to a trance and about rear ended people numerous times. Scary. But seriously, 4-8 MPG? WTF. New it called for 12 city 14 highway with all the smog junk, restricted exhaust and low on power. I wonder if I have too much fuel pressure or something lol.

Oh i see well that's not good. Hopefully you figure out what is causing the low mileage. What is the fuel pressure at vs what it is supposed to be?

I'm not sure yet what it is currently, but with the old fuel pump it was so screwed that the gauge would jump all over the place, for that Edelbroke carb I believe it should be 5-6.5 PSI fuel pressure.

I wish this site had a instant message chat room or something to make replies faster lol

I mentioned the chat to a mod and they said it was useless and didn't work. I couldn't get it to connect or anything so i left it. I generally just finish my post then go off to do something else and check back in my email once in a while to see if anything new has been posted.
