I got the ultragague calibrated. You were right to have me look for that. It now reads 41mpg hwy. About 35 around town. I have replaced the fuel filter, changed the oil/filter, gotten an alignment (had to replace cv joints/axels before they could do it) and had tires balanced. Also replaced egr valve, thermostat, and coolant.

As to my trust of the PO when he says the timing belt was serviced. He probably took it to a shop and they told him it had to be done. Guy seemed to know nothing at all about cars. I only ever met him once when I bought the vehicle from him.
