Anyone had that problem before of a stuck valve? I'm no expert in cars but i get my way arround pretty good, and i never heard a engine with 40 000 miles could have a stuck valve, but anyway i'm happy now that my problem is solved. Thanks
LOL! That's what my dad says...blow her out!!!

I had horrible mpg (13 mpg) when I first purchased my used one...then I took it for a long drive (350 mi. round trip)...hit 120mph...a couple of times. When I got back...it was averaging 18 mpg (city driving).

Mine wasn't idling funny...just horrible mpg.
