Recently, my 225 has dropped it's fuel mileage. It went from about 21MPG to about 10. What the heck? Any ideas where to start looking? It was very sudden which makes me think it's my charcoal canister. I don't want to throw parts at it hoping to fix the problem. The Carb was rebuilt in September. I know the Jetting wasn't perfect, but what else could cause such a drastic change in mileage?
Thank you for any help you can give....so many people say so many things. One person says changing the exhaust to a wider diameter will increase mileage which I am sure it will, but that is not what is causing this particular fuel mileage decrease.
All and all, this car needs lots of TLC and tinkering to make it perfect. I intend to drag race it once I can get my life in order and get ahead on my bills. I am looking for things that would increase the fuel mileage, horsepower increases will come later, unless it's a joint repair. I wouldn't turn my nose up at an increase in horsepower too....
Again, thank you for any help you can give....
