Hi Greg,  I regularly get over 20 mpg in my BT7, so something is wrong.  =
If what you are saying that you only got 98 miles on full tank of gas, =
something is seriously amiss.  Is it possible that when your car was in =
the shop some fuel was drained from the tank for some reason?

Evening,

=20

Just got my '65 BJ8 back from an extended stay at a body/paint shop. Old =
English white with a red interior. It looks great.

=20

Problem is, I ran out gas.  My trip Odo said 98 miles, I can usually go =
around 150 and, talking to a friend, he said he can go 200 miles on a =
tank.

=20

The car seems to run fine, not missing, no black smoke.

=20

Any ideas why my milage dropped 30% and should I be getting 200 miles on =
a fill-up?

=20

I don't smell gas in the garage, but I will be checking for leaks in the =
morning.=20
