milage again

I know its been up over and over but never found and explanation to my problem.

The car runs great and does not throw any codes...

However I get like 10 mpg Dont know why?! Wouldnt the car run bad if it was running that rich?

I seem to get simillar milage regardless of my driving habits.

I guess that info would be useful hehe

its a 305 TPI. I dont think the back gear has been changed allthough it might have been different as per the request of the original buyer.

Its an 88 and has an auto transm.

I have put edelbrock headers and hooker cat back and a bigger better flowing cat. I have the edelbrock base intake manifold and SLP runners.

That is pretty much it.

Spark plugs good, as well as the distributor and cap. and wires.

I want to know what would cause such a huge milage problem. bad spark plugs and such dont cause much.

Well the O2 sensor was changed and i use a heated one as it is now located further down the pipe due to the headers.
