and I wasn't really trying. That was on a long highway trip. After taking the 900S to Tom Townsend, he set the "CO adjustment screw" to adjust fuel/air to just a little bit on the rich side for performance, which I condoned, and gas mileage fell to about 28-29 tops on the highway. However, he pointed out that my decel fuel cut-off valve isn't working and I could better my mileage by 5-6 percent if I get a new decel valve.
I still think this is fine for the old CIS injection and a car with 239K miles. The worst mileage I see (city) is about 23 mpg. These are U.S. gallons...
