Good gas mileage, bad sending unit.
Hi, I recently filled my car up twice since I replaced my upper intake manifold @ 247K. Once @ 206 miles it took 7.3 gallons of gas, giving me 28.21 MPG!!! and the second time @ 371 miles it took 13.7 gallons of gas, giving me 27.08 MPG. I have to calculate how much fuel I am using in my car by the trip odometer because my sending unit is bad and my guage reads full all the time. My vehicle has 249K now and for the past two months I average about 99-115 miles a day highway and in town driving. My gas mileage has ranged from 23 to 28 miles to the gallon. If I replace my sending unit will that affect, or improve my gas mileage :?:
