Has anyone asked if you have a fuel leak? If its leaving fuel when parked, or pumping it out as you drive, that could seriously reduce your mileage! 1955 1st GMC Suburban \| 1954 GMC 250 trailer puller project \| 1954 GMC 250 Hydra-Matic \| 1954 Chevy 3100 . 1947 Chevy COE \| and more... It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble...
