i was getting about 350, then replaced the fuel filter and gave the dizzy points a light rub. im now on 350km with a quarter of a tank to go, so should get about 450. car still seems to idle rough thou. maybe extractors and a 2 1/4' exhaust will help")

that means hotvl86 just thinks the tank is empty wen he fills it but its really got 1/3 left, the guage must be off, titicaca a 2 1/4 and extractors wont fix your idle but it should help ur fuel economy a little bit, maybe try new spark plugs, ignition leads, and put injector cleaner in the tank, that should help smoothe ur idle out
