I think the main problem with the shadows mpg right now is that it has a bent strut from the PO smacking a curb, the camber and alignment are pretty well off at this point and you have to hold the wheel cockeyed to go straight. Gonna pick up a pair of new struts tomorrow and hopefully get it aligned sometime soon after. We just got 26.3 mpg on a fillup though, but hoping to improve on that. The non overdrive trans doesnt help too much but its still not too bad considering. We got 30 mpg driving 60-70mph to WV in early Feb.
Ive also redone every single vacuum line in the car and simplified the vac system. Ive currently got a homemade manual boost controller on it, though it rarely even sees the boost at this point.
