am I running rich???

I did a freeway trip mileage check for the first time and got about 16 mi/gal crusing at 70-75 mph and 3000-4000 rpm. Is this about right for a 2.2, S pistons & cylinders, E cam?

I don't really care about the mileage but am wondering if it's running rich.

Thanks in advance,

Rob

Try the DVM to O2S method to get a reading if you don't have a LM1 which is prefered.

If you're running rich, she will want to stall when cold with sever sub-dips in the RPMs.

my 2 cents
