[Shotimes] leaking injector

[Donald Mallinson]

A bad thermostat can cause mileage to drop from around 28-30 
on the highway to 22-24?  I have heard this kind of drop 
from a lot of people.  Not a slight drop.

It does appear that this is not a thermostat problem, but he 
should consider it anyway, I have put in thermostats and had 
them go bad right away, and others have lasted just a few 
months.  Many People have put in several before getting one 
that would last more than a year.
