I have done a lot of little things to it. Tune up. including valve adjustment, rebuilt injectors, a replacement glow plug. Filters. Installed a boost gauge to use as economy meter. Have been trying to keep it lower under 5 psi if can on the road.



Should help the mileage.

On the negative side I put four snow tires on it. We have been driving on snow and ice since before Christmas. It makes the two wheel rear drive pretty reasonable to drive.

We haven't filled the tank for a month It might be all winter before the mileage comes up.
