    Default fuel line

    my 97 hatch is eating too much gas...its a stock y7. i over heard that you can adjust a bolt on the fuel line and get it to save more gas but the car would run slower.. where and how do you adjust the bolt???

    you mean the throttle. unless you have aftermarket parts where you can adjust it. there is a screw where you use a flat head to adjust it by you throttle.

    no such bolt.

    how many miles, and when was your last tune up? when was the oxygen sensor last replaced?
    You're right - I have no idea what I'm talking about...
