[Shotimes] gas mileage issues

Wed, 14 Jan 2004 19:23:01 -0500

i keep it under 3500rpm, unless i get to feelin a little crazy...which isnt 
everytime i take off....about 1 out of 15....so......yea....the thermo is 
gettin changed this weekend along with the O2 sensors that have never been 
changed.....and this thing has 124,750 miles on the clock.....so.....also i 
dont thing that having a busted gasket, allowing oil to go into the 
plugs[that have never been changed] isnt helping....im change the gasket, 
plugs and wires when it warms up!!....so yea....my bank account sucks thanks 
to my beloved SHO...which i wouldnt take nothin for
