We'll see what mileage looks like on the next few tanks, but I'll bet it'll be better.

I bench-tested the old pump today with a 9V battery...it'll run in reverse, but won't turn a lick forward. Toast.
I put a new fuel pump on mine this year at about 185,000 miles. it was singing fairly loud and my mechanic had beeen warning me of impending doom for about two years. No change in performance. I still have the old pump and it may have run forever as well.

However I do have a fear of being stranded. it happend once with a water pump failure. That reminds me. Should I replace my water pump soon as it has 80,000 mile on it? it Never stops.
