Actually I was about to do alignment for my car.
It's been a while.
Um...I really want to keep this car, but with this mpg, I don't know what to do.
I repaired RMS recently, and I repaired all other issues that I had. I took good care of it, but I can't keep spending money on it.
I have to think about what I am going to do with it.
If I am going to keep it, I will spend more money and try to fix it, otherwise, I guess I have to sell it.
Thank you for the all the advice.
At least in my '98 S70, the fuel light comes on when the car estimates that you have 50 miles of gas left in the tank, based on your recent driving conditions. I do not believe that it is a measure of the volume of fuel left, only how many miles the car estimates you can drive on what's left. If your 850 gas light works the same as the S70's this should not be a very accurate way of measuring MPG. When the light comes on will depend on how you are driving as your tank gets low.
The most accurate method is to keep track of how much fuel you put in at the pump and how many miles you drive over several cycles. The bigger the sample the better.
Thank you for the tips.
I guess I will follow the method you mentioned.
How about the trip meter? How accurate is it? I get 13mpg in the city driving, and 18.7~19mpg only highway driving without WOT.
Um....OEM sensor is around $60........way more expensive than I expected...
Is after market one ok from FCP?
Anyone has any experiences with the after market one?
Thank you for all the advice and seuggestions.
It's been a while I have tried to find the source of bad mpg. I think I will goahed and order temp sensor. It's cheap and easy to replace.
I usually don't throw money on things without making sure, but I can't really find the source.
Actually, my car runs rich because I can smell very strong exhaus smell when cold start. I mean very very strong.
Wish me luck!!
