John, I would start with replacing the 02 sensor. That is what regulates the
fuel to air mixture.

Hi all,
I've noticed I've had somewhat decreased gas mileage lately. I can
drive my DeLorean about 36 or so miles avg. 55mph on a two-lane
highway, using about 1/4 tank of gas. My car is the 5-speed and I
shift smoothly with no problems. I don't know if my car just needs a
tune up or what. Is it just the fact that the car was tuned to the
standard 55 freeway speed/RPM's back then, or should have something
adjusted? My cousin once owned an 85' Trans-Am and it took him 1/4
to 1/3 of a tank just to drive 10 minutes to come over! (But that
was probably because he played around with the engine and maxed it
out to its limit.) Anyone have any gas problems like me? The prices
have been kind of crappy here lately.
