Engine Performance problem
1996 Mitsubishi Magna 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic
I own a 1996 Mitsubishi Magna TE executive. The average fuel consumption that i have heard from many people is about 500kms/tank (tank is 70 L). To check the efficiency of my car i had filled up the fuel tank and it gave me 250 kms for half a tank which was as expected. But as soon i reached the half tank mark the efficiency went down and i could see the fuel level fall down rapidly as i was driving. In the remaining half tank i have managed to get only around 150 kms. Seeing this pattern i wonder if there is a problem with my gauge? I have bought this card second hand and it has 200,000kms done. Also i drive it as carefully as possible (along with monitoring Tyre pressure) and try to extract maximum fuel efficiency. What can i do to improve my fuel efficiency?
