That method works well for me too, trick is to depress slowly enough to get minimal squirtage from the accelerator pump.

Start with a basic tune up, as mentioned above by JTL. Can you smell gas in your exhaust fumes or see soot buildup on your tailpipe? 16 to 7 is quite a drop. Is this over one tank or several?

Hello. If I have soot build up on my tailpipe and smell gas in exhaust, what does that mean? I started noticing this recently. Leaky exhaust manifolds? Thank you "huffin' tuff". Kris

Leaking manifolds will not materially affect your fuel efficiency. Temp sensor II grounding can fake out the ECU into thinking it is always cold. . . it should be 2500 ohms at 68*, IIRC.
