34 mpg is awesome. My GL 2.0 gets 24mpg if I ease it because we have very little highway here. All suburb-miles, mostly. Good job!

Mine's at 152k miles and I get 24 mpg too. It's an ATX.
Sounds right according to the Government: http://www.fuelecono...mes/14210.shtml
:D

From what I remember on this forum, the earlier Contours (pre-98) always had better fuel economy.

Call AAA or a local key service?

Eric, Terry would be the best person for any transmission or clutch-related questions.

In Topic: sources of brake fluid leak

20 January 2012 - 01:54 AM

A long time ago, my Golf had fluid leaking from the soft line but it wasn't continuous. There was a small tear which would leak only if the soft line was pressed. Not sure if your Contour has the same problem.

You may also want to check the bleeder valves.
(I've only replaced pads and rotors on the Contour so this is a shot in the dark.)
