I hope I can improve my gas mileage soon... If not it will make my parting with my car even more imminent...
Ease off the throttle, keep your ignition system in good working order, look after tire pressures, pretty much all you can really do
Oh, and glide whenever you can
It's over 33 years old now and is on it's last legs. No one in my family really likes it but me and even I have a hard time properly caring for it.
It might be better off being cherished by someone who can do it better than I can...
What even is it?
A 1987 Acura Integra LS four door hatchback with the "Brown Top" twin cam engine.
Ah
It's light sky blue.
If I can't get it back up to 25 MPG average, I don't know where to go.
Now it's barely getting 20-21 MPG.
Doubt you're gonna do that. If its that old, the engine is getting loose and it's a little down on power
That's not even bad gas mileage
For a 1.6 liter I4 with a fuel injector it's not very good...
It's an 87
Fuel injection back in those days was very primitive and rudimentary, not to mention the cars were heavily restricted with equally archaic emissions controls
It used to get 25 MPG in 2019, but since then it's been drastically going down...
Maybe it's how I'm driving and how often I do it?
I know the slush box doesn't help.
Honestly sounds like the engine is just aging and getting wear ad tear as it goes along
Is there anything I can do to keep it in one piece and improve the performance back to how it was? Or is it not worth it...?
Getting a new engine
They all develop wear and lose mpg overtime
A new engine?
How?
What engine?
What will even fit?
Talked to another friend, he said to do some basic work on somethings that will help. Oil and fluid changes, air filter, spark plugs, and that kind of thing.
Very old header
very very old
How old Is your header? Mine is 50
Mine is probably from the 70s or the 80s
I posted this in gaming but I think it can fit here too.
It could
