Hi everyone
I was wondering what everyones experience is on gas mileage on a tr4.
Everything on my engine is stock.  I have a feeling somethings not tuned
correctly since I only get about 10 miles to the gallon at the most.  I dont
see any fuel coming out the mouth of the carbs but when driving there is
always a real strong gas smell.  Im pretty sure there isnt a leak in the gas
line anywhere.

Is this normal?
should I try retuning the carbs?  the car seems to run okay a little hot but
that may be the buildup in the radiator.  I cant be running so rich that I
get that low mileage can I?

Thanks in advance for your input!
