The thing that puzzled me about Tim's post was that he talked about taking a highway trip and getting 26mpg. So it didn't make sense to me that he'd "suddenly" see a 10mpg improvement. The only two explanations I could come up with were a failure causing the engine to run excessively lean (unmetered air leak?), or that someone was adding fuel to his car between fillups.
I noted that on my original post in this thread, an extra space was inserted after the second paragraph, and depending on your screen settings, some people might not have noticed the rest of my post. I was serious in asking Tim to consider that someone else (does a teenager drive the car and put in an extra gallon or two without saying anything, thinking it's the right thing to do?) might be adding fuel. But I did suggest he might have a mixture problem. He doesn't mention any hesitation on acceleration, idle problems, or other symptoms, and the 26 mpg highway run (normal fuel mileage) had me scratching my head. It just doesn't add up.
Anyway, I hope we hear from Tim again. I'd like to know if he figures this one out.
