Re: gas gauge

dude i hope you didnt pay alot for this car. im not trying to be a dick but it sounds like unless you got a killer deal on this car you got screwed and have alot of work to do. but i think those cars have about an 11.5 gallon tank so your 220 was even kinda low. this could be tied into your engine problem. did you put premium gas in it? premium burns much hotter and can be bad for engines that dont have good up keep. i say fill it up with unleaded and see what happens

Re: gas gauge

that doesnt sound like a bad deal honestly lol but i would hold off on the octane booster just put plain unleaded gas in for a while and see how that works. and i also have a lead foot haha and that will cause you to use alot more gas than you should be using
