Ya we are not exactly driving a straight line we are going from museum to museum so far we have seen 20 of them and been through 16 states. I will check the injectors once I get home I have the tools to do it on the road if necessary I just need to find some injectors.

Update, we have stopped for a week in WI for the oshkosh airshow. The car has been running great but milage is still down I am going to address the injectors once I get home along with the trans. Also a tree hugging Prius driving moran hit me while I was in stand still traffic. We are up to 6000 miles and still growing.

Yeesh! Sorry to hear about the Prius! Was it a very hard collision?

Is the average MPG computed by the car low? I'd think it might be artificially high if the injectors were leaky because there is fueling happening the ECM is unaware of.

While I was sitting in stand still traffic on Ohio route 8 a Dumb Azz tree hugger in a hybrid Toyota hit me in the right corner at 40mph plus while he was texting on his iphone F**king prick. When the cops arrived he pleaded guilty and a had full coverage. Also the cop was a vette guy(79) and so were a bunch of the witnesses. I tell you I was about to tear that tofu eating pipsqueak in two but thankfully my Pops calmed me down. I called the insurance company and my local chevy dealer and got them to talking, my guy at the dealer. I sent him and the adjuster a bunch of pics and details of what needs attention. the good new is that my guy said they will throw in the other touch ups in for free that includes the other blemishes and inevitable rock chips from the trip. When I stepped out of the car I was assuming the worse cause the Toyota was trashed and had to be put on a flat bed. when I looked around the corner I was astonished to not see anymore damage than there was, a cracked bumper and a broken under bumper but not structural damage.

I assumed he was rear-ended since he said he was basically stopped at the time.
