What do you call poor economy?
What mods and accessories do you have on the car?
You rebuilt injectors AND pump, or just one?
Have you taken it to any mechanics that know what they are doing?
Manual or Auto?
What size tires are you running?

Rob, check for:
1. Wrong pump timing, factory settings not optimal!
2. Fuel settings too lean or too rich, does it blow too much black smoke?Too rich!
Too lean, wont rev as hard in high gear & lower power.
3. Blocked air filter or exhaust.
If you know where to look the fuel setting is easy to adjust by trial & error
provided U take it gradually. Why bother with mpg! That dropped out years ago!
& the calculations are usually pretty dubious by most who reckon they get ...mpg!
You put in litres & do Kms nowadays so its k/litre or litres per 100kms.
Think 16mpg is about 6kml.
