The highest price gas around here is right around the Chevron Refinery. One reason is probably due to the close proximity to LAX.

Re: Idle Mixture Screw

20 inHg is good, If your Idle Mixture Screw is 3 turns out, you may have a vacuum leak somewhere. A lot of good suggestions where to look in previous posts.

Re: Idle Mixture Screw

You don't mention what carburetor you have. A Marvel is the opposite of a Zenith. The idle mixture screw adjusts the amont of gas at idle on a Marvel so turning it CCW will enrichen the mixture.
