Is my idle too high?

It seems to idle around 1100-1200 rpms, this is on a 745t/i 1988 with auto tranny. THanks.

Thanks Warren, It's going in tomorrow for timing belt, water pump, and have him check the idle. Could that also explain poor fuel mileage? Or does this car just have a small fuel tank? right now I have about 270 kms on just under half a tank, I do about 50 highway, 50 city driving. What grade fuel should I use? At least 89? I will not use 87 in any of my vehicles. Thanks.

So about 20 mpg, I got 15, but I had a really heavy foot.

I used 92 but you only need it if you modify things. That is R+M/2. Do you use RON in Canada?

OK, after you enter your username/password and submit a post, do you have to enter it again for the next post during the same session? For me, I have to enter it every time I come to the site, but after the first message, my info is stored and entered automatically for each post I make during the same visit to the site. If I close netscape and come back to the site, I would have to enter it again. I hope that makes sense.
