    Not surprised you want to keep it if it's doing nearly 200 MPG!!!

    If you've taken it to two mechanics who you trust since it happened and they both say it's fine, I wouldn't worry about it. I'd just keep running it until it finally gives up the ghost.

    However, if you can, it would be wise to try and save a bit towards replacing it as if it's 15 yrs old with 190,000 miles it's not going to last forever.
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die

    No one ever believes us when we say how little we have to fill it up, I've never known a car like it!
    Fr. Stack: While you were out, I got the keys to your car. And drove it into a big wall. And if you don't like it, tough. I've had my fun, and that's all that matters.
