    Well I put my truck on the road, and killed 13 gallons in less then 2 days, probably got like 10mpg ? I dont know my cluster died on me. Anyone know how to set weber 40s up to get decent mpg ? Right now im sure im running rich, but how do you know when its rich lean or perfect and how to change it ??? also looking to buy a working cluster non auto no tach, just temp,mph,gas. thats all.
