Re: gas mileage

["Casey Webster" <tinfool@home.com>]

so if everyone is getting such good mileage, how come mine is so shitty?
I have some kind of cam, headers, exhaust, lots of bolt ons as well, but I'm
only getting about 18-20 mpg.  Maybe my tranny is different?  Mine revs
about 4000 at 120km/h (75 mph?) is this the same as others?  Or maybe I need
to get my timing checked?
