Hi travelingaaron, do you camp out in your car? I know a guy who does that, so he can go see the places he always wanted to w/ out spending a fortune. Sounds fun, I would like to try that once.
Your swift is getting low mpg. Somethings not right. Check the vacuum hoses for cracks, I'm guessing it has 1 big injector (tbi), make sure the fuel spray is cone shaped w/ no big droplets of fuel. Check the ignition timing & make sure it advances when you rev it. Engine coolant temp is a big part of running efficient, if you temp gauge never get to the middle, always low or not moving, you could have a t-stat that is stuck open, never allowing the engine to reach the proper operating temp. Jack up each corner to see if a brake is dragging, causing low mpg. Good luck. Have fun.
