What type of fuel economy did you get? Or what have you generally gotten? I just read on ebay some qwack that said they got 28-30 MPG highway, and 22-24 city driving, I totally laughed at that, and said something derogative about it. This is with the Brougham package, 2.93 gearing.
Then it was changed to: Correction: It should read 24 - 27 mpg overall. Sorry.
What I get, 14 city, 18 city/highway combo, 22 straight highway, how the hell they get these is amazing. I COULD go TWICE AS FAR if this were true! How true is this?! I changed my air filter, and put in 10W30 synthetic blend oil, that only helped out about 1 MPG.
So, if this is true, it would be extremely cost effective to spend $1,000.00 bucks for the tune up. Although, at a 40% increase in economy, it would take around 55 fill ups to pay for itself, if I calculated it right. That, buy all the parts, and have an indy shop do it. How long does this take? PLugs, wires, removing serp. belt/putting it on, pCV valves, egr, oxygen sensors, what about the Mass air flow sensors? I heard those should be replaced too...
94-96 Fleetwoods only, sorry...
