Even after getting the work done a few weeks ago, Im still getting crappy mpg #'s
Hoped getting the timing belt, thermostat and water pump changed (water pump failed) it would help with the low mpg Im getting.
Right now getting around 220-230 per tank. This is mostly around town driving with some interstates on the weekend but just short 10 miles trips.
Was worried about the RPMs too since it just 'sounds' high. Have an auto 2.0 and around 65-67mph Im doing 3200 rpms. Also seems like I have power left to go. If I stomp down to pass someone Im does drop a gear/downshift and jumps easily into the mid 5000. Will take a video of it tomorrow if anyone wants to see it.
Does that sound right? I will check my tire pressure on Thursday when I fill up (before Earl comes to town). But I check that from time to time and its never really been that far off.
Anything else to check to help with mpg?
