I think my car may be running a bit rich as i am only getting about 210 miles to £30 instead of about £250, i have lately put on a k&n pannel filter and a sebring straight tho pipe and backbox. Do u think if i have a tune up then it will sort it out. Soon i will be getting a piper cam kit and skimmin the head and will this make a differnece.
Cheers mark

I'd be more worried about your fuel problem before, not now
