I used to be putting in R100($16) a week and my needel would report empty after that week.

I have noticed that too. Sometimes all it takes is a different Octane to obtain 35 extra kilometers per gallon.
My dx was pretty much the same way. If I ran 87 octane in it I would get 24 -28 mpg. But if I used 89 or 90 octane I could increase it to 34 - 35 mpg
we used to have 97 now its 95 unleaded and 95 lrp
dont know if you have this in your country.
naamsamy car is compatible with 95 unleaded but is recommended i use 95 lrp.
noprobs with 97, aaah the good old days of 97 and lead
I think i have filled up on 95 unleaded by mistake.

I have ajusted the float bowl and its is verry low I dont think this is a good thing.
But its not costing me much now to run the car.
I have also installed new jets into my carb.
QUOTE
Did you put in different sized jets?
nope jets are exacley the same just new, we can get carb kits still in sa

So if canone could help me with my float bowl level and timeing.
I am not sure what possesion to move my distributor.
QUOTE
The float bowl is slow to adjust, very much like your idle control. If you adjust it too much, you won't know, until much later. This is an item that you must have patience with when adjusting.
yeah thats true, rite now its all the way down slightly turned up.
I cant offord R100 a week so not sure what to do.
I drive it every day.

And your distributor has a mark on the cylinder head and the braket for the distributor. Line these up. This will make it at 0 advance.
ooh must I always have it like this?
Will have a look!
