Where to look when the MPG halves????

Post by fonzooorooo »

Car's a '95 with a 1Z

All the time I've had it, I've reckoned on 80 miles on a tenner - that's been local trips, distances, towing... Really, it's made no difference.

Despite no obvious change in performance, I'm probably only getting 40 to 50 miles out of my tenner now.

It is showing VERY cold on the gauge (drive over 10 miles before it moves, and needs to be in stop-start traffic to achieve 70 degrees)) so I really aught to idiot-check the thermostat.

Any other ideas???

Think it all started when I saw Redshed the other week and said "Yes, it's going fine - nothing to report really!" :hyst
