my 98 240 has 116,000 miles on it
i know i know its alot for a 98
thing is i only get bout 200-250miles for a whole tank
i know this is really bad and i was wondering what could help?

spark plugs, wires, fuel filter, some solution to pour in ur gas tank?

i cant really think of anything else

search tune-up
biggest thing is 02 sensor, when was the last time you did that?
fuel injector cleaner, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, gas treatment,
how long since you did a tune-up?

Do a FULL tune up. Run a little fuel tank cleaner. clean your injectors?

i wouldnt mind buying the car, lol.

If you can, check the codes that the ECU is throwing out to see what the problem is.

well well, replacing the gas cap three times, maybe that's why you losing gas. evaporation.

yeah, but thats a lot of evaporation. Check the whole seal around the cap and everything, I doubt you got 3 defective gas caps.
run ECU diagnostics as well, email me if you want them, I just posted them like 2 days ago on here as well if you wanna search.
