68 Mustang Gas Mileage?!
Hi there- Been a while since I've posted, been kinda busy =) Umm, I'm having a problem with the 68 Stang.. It has a 302 under the hood.. And I've noticed that I'm getting DREADFUL gas mileage.. 10 mpg if I'm lucky.. And one thing I noticed that might be the reason is, the idle is REALLY unstable, sometimes I'll start it up, well most of the times when I start it up its hitting REALLY high RPMs.. And I noticed that when I do that, I don't even have to hit the gas and I can go around 20-30 mph and sometimes I noticed I can be on a flat road going 40 mph and let off of the accelerator and continue going the same speed.. Its really annoying, I have to break extremely hard sometimes.. heh.. I think its a carbeurator problem, I've been told it needs adjusting- Can someone tell me whats going on? Why I get such poor gas mileage and what I can do to solve all of this? Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it!!
