Well finally got my insight home for Salt Lake City. Its a 2000 with manual transmission. I found out the battery was replaced about 160 miles ago under warranty along with the cat. The car has 41600 miles on it and a lmpg of 54.2. I got in the car and was suprised how the gearing was. Its like starting out in second gear on other vehicles. The trip was about 1480 miles and I got an average of 55.6 mpg on the way home. I just took it to the dealer to have the vales adjusted ( not sure it needed it but just to be safe. It was only $99.) It has been very cold here in Wisconsin lately and my mpg are down pretty low. On this tank of gas its only 47.4 mpg. I decided to do the warm air mod on it. I haven't had the chance to really test it out but around town i can see a difference. I also ordered the rostra cruise control. It should be here in a few days. I am really enjoying driving this car. It does take some getting use to after driving so long the old fashion way.
I do have a few questions. First does temp gauge always show 2 bars no matter how cold the car is. Everytime i get in my car in the morning (outside air temp -14F) the cars shows 2 bars. I am not worried about it just think it is a little weird.
Second i am playing around with trying to get in lean burn. I can get there but i only seem to loose speed. I have to give the car some more gas then going out of lean burn. Maybe the warm air mod will help this. Any ideas?
Thanks
Dennis
