Gas mileage went downhill...

but then I covered 120 miles this weekend while only showing 2/10ths of a change in the odometer.... Oh and the speedo quit 5 miles into the trip...

Guess it's time for a new sensor....

Last few years I have been seeing a little jumping around.... I had re-tightened the sensor last fall which improved things for a while. Wires and connector appear to be in good condition.

Bummer - guess I will go down some morning this week and order a new sensor.

We see a whole lot of problems with the electronic speedometers but comparatively few problems with the old style mechanical types.

I'm liking my 89 more and more. Almost no electronics to break. Just a lot of stuff for me to break.
