    fuel

    Are there any common places for a fuel leak to develop in e30's?

    I'm getting horrible fuel economy. My MPG is so low that I suspect it must be caused by a leak. Also, the motor runs great and my exhaust looks clean.

    Any help would be great as I'm wasting too much money on gas.

    Do you smell fuel from the car? Most of the time, the gas tank will rust.

      NO I don't smell fuel at all.
      My car has no rust so I doubt its that.

      Any other ideas to explain my horrible MPG?

        When was the last time you did a "tune up" Do things like plugs, filters and stuff like that?

          Recently replaced parts:

          Distributor cap and rotor
          spark plugs
          air filter
          all belts including timing
          Fluids

          I should probably replace:
          fuel filter
          O2 sensor

          Maybe even ignition wires???

              My range is between 130-140 miles per tank. I think that like 11MPG.

              BTW - the car is an auto and I don't drive it very hard.

              Any ideas would be great!
