Re: Poor gas mileage

["john h. outlan" <joutlan@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm running the Olive Green CCP (BMWUK 'fix') and it definitely helps.  My gas
mileage stays right around 44 mpg....that's cruising the highways at around 85
or so indicated.  I'm going to put in some single electrode AC Delco Rapid
Fire plugs (have to order them over the net, can't get them locally around
here) and will 'port back on what that does.  I had success with the autolites
in my old 95 GS.

  I saw somewhere that BMW is going back to the single plug setup. Is
  this true and, if so, does anyone know why?
