Finally replaced the distributor and the Festiva is running again. I should probably check the tires, they look a bit low. Also, it's running like crap, the way it was when I bought it, probably from sitting for almost 3 weeks.

Ran out of gas and had to push the Festiva 2 blocks. Got help from a police car to get across the last street to the gas station. Barely put any gas in though since the price was 12 cents higher than another station on my way home that I had planned on stopping at.

Gas hasn't been this cheap in a while, so I got some. Plus I had time to kill before work.

Put in $15 worth to get me by for another week or so. Hopefully it will be warm enough to undercoat the tank, if not I could be in some trouble.

Had to fill up partway after going to Madison Heights to buy a 1 TB hard drive. The gauge was below the red empty mark, but adding less than 4 gallons brought it up to half. The new gas tank is patched, just needs to be undercoated before putting it in.

Was at 1/8th of a tank, wanted to put some in but not fill it so far that it will leak. Should have time to fix the leak/put in the other gas tank this week, once I am sure what the problem is.

The gas that this is replacing was used to get home from Warren, Ohio, then to school and back twice, and to work twice. I doubt it will be as high as 36 MPG.

Bought this gas in Ohio after picking up parts from TONYCASH. Stopped here because the price was low.

Filling up before going to get a non-leaky gas tank from TONYCASH from the Festiva Forums. This tank was almost all driving to work and school, so it will probably not be good. Guess I was wrong... Second best tank!

MPG will probably be lower this time, since I still haven't done anything more about the leak (been sick) and there was no highway driving.

Failed to fix the gas leak completely, but had to fill it again so I could find the place where it is still leaking.

Tried to fix the leak with JB Weld, it seems like it fixed part of the leak, but there must be another one higher up where I can't see it.

The gas tank leaks... The leak stopped 3/4 of a tank, so I had to re-fill it so I could find the leak and fix it.

Less than 8 gallons filled the tank from empty! That would only fill the Toronado to half! The gas'll probably last twice as long too!
