Need4Speed Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 If your city driving is traffic jam stuff that sounds reasonable. It's hard to tell accurately without sitting in your car watching you drive. First thing to have a look at is air-filter. Is it clean? You don't need to get an expert in for that.

Faye Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 My NA doesn't do much more than 18 or so to the gallon, I blame that on being a weekend driver with a lot of enthusiasm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
