The tach dropping needs to be addressed. Possible bad distributor, (hall
sensor).

Mileage has dropped to 13mpg (usually close to 20).

Also, Occasional hesitation w/ tach drop.

Driving to Seattle next month and could use improved economy. Possibly two
problems at once?

Going to check O2 sensor. Could be hesitation is ECU? I have a spare I can
plug in.
