Really, you've moved to a manual choke on all your vehicles? Is that because of the cold winters?Your truck sounds like it is running good,,,just a little thirsty Cold weather can effect fuel mileage,,,mine has been poor the past few weeks add to the fact of having to run in 4WD also increases fuel use. I assume you have carb,,,is the choke opening all the way...anything i have ever had with a electric choke I have switched to manual choke.....gives you absolute control over the choke!
130 - 150psi is what ur looking for u may not notice much power loss if u r down on compression by 10 or 20%What should the compression be ?

I have owned this truck for about 3 years. And I has never gotten good gas millage. I just did a minor tune up plugs wires cap rotor coil. I am getting about 150-170 per tank. I have been reading that It should be around 270. Is there something else I should be looking into ? Or is this normal. I drive to and from work about 6 miles a day normal driving and have been running chevron plus. Thank you for any input. And please if I am leaving info out let me know. Truck 86 4 cyl 22 re
im getting 18 ish in town up to 23 mpg highway if i lightfooot her,, yes fuel pressure regulator ,good idea also ,,you can use starting fluid around the intake and plenum etc at idle your vehicle and see if idle picks up ,do you have a vacuum gauge?? ,check youre vacuum at idle ..youre injectors could be dirty ,try and run a can of sea foam through the tank and rev it up under load and clean it out ,i run a can through every 90 days or so ,,, i know this is alot of info but it covers most of the problem areas,,, ,ive owned yotas since the 80's,,you say youre looking to get same mileage as" before" ?,did you change where you buy you're fuel ,or what changed when you're mileage dropped?, also i run non ethanol mid grade or alternate between premium non ethanol, when i can find it .............Cool thank you. ! Yeah I am looking to get about the same as before. Feels like I have alittle more power but still crappy fuel. I am on pace for about 180 this tank. What are you getting now ? Some one also told me to check the fuel pressure regulator
That seems about right.I've been getting 19 MPG in town, 23+ on the highway, with 22RE, stock everything except 31X10.5X15 tires and a tube rear bumper. I'm usually at 200 miles when the gauge hits half way (which is less than half the gas remaining).
