Maybe I should get soemone else too look at the carb setup.
Gas mileage really isn't that big of an issue but it is one of those things were if I should be getting 15mpg I want my 15mpg....not 8mpg. Personally its annoying getting crappy mileage.

Does your car run well? I don't think it hurts you one bit to set aside $300-$400 and get it tuned on a dyno. The other option is to buy your own wideband and tune it yourself. If you are handy enough, patient and understand carbs then the wideband street tuning would be the best option. I have no idea why people don't tune these things themselves or invest $400 in a dyno tune. Too many people set the float bowls and get the idle right and think "yeah this thing is tuned!"
