The Tires are Brand new, Parelli 195/60-15 I have them at 2-3lbs below sidewall max pressure...

The alignment on the CRX is only adjustable for the toe... I think?... and It dosent pull, even when turning... I may get an alignment this summer but I dont have any issues with it that i notice

Im kindof concerned about a couple of things that could be robbing me of MPG's

1) Oxygenated Fuel (Im going to switch over to non ethanol fuel this week and see if it helps)

2) EGR valve, Its hooked up right, and wired correctly (even the control solenoid is wired up correctly) Im not sure if the actual valve is working correctly

3) I have the charcoal canister set up correctly, but Ive disconnected because I dont have a purge valve... I may try and use the one off of a CRX HF that I have laying around.
