uh... drive like grandma, keep up on maintenance, lean out the carb so you'll have no power but get a lot of MPGs... what u complainin about its a 22r, its got a carburetor, and its not as efficient at fuel economy as EFI is. your gettin better mileage than i am right now! be glad! lol

Driving slow actually hurts your MPG so I've heard.

Carb>EFI. I hate my EFI.

honestly, i prefer carburation too. but i like my efi cuz i can be at a steep angle, and my truck wont sputter and die. my old chevy did that, got to too steep of an angle, and it would sputter, backfire, then die. maybe it has to do with the fact that it was a 350 and had a holley 850 carburetor on it.... but i didnt say that... shhhh
