I know man...I shouldn't be. Just the idea of a 4cyliner car is getting the same gas mileage as v6 pisses me off. I would not be comlaining if the car is at least somewhat fast.

Dude, my v6 gets ~400 miles per tank every time. There's something more with your car.

Yeah, but gas is expensive. If it was made to get crappy gas mileage, that's one thing, but since it's not, then it's understandable to want it to get decent gas mileage.

Change your fuel filter, air filter, and use some seafoam. You already got new plugs right? What kind are they?

Check the DIY section. It has been discussed 1000 times. But i know you have been absent from AZ for awhile.

Basically you take the vaccuum line off the valve cover and shove it in a can of seafoam. You only use like 1/3 of the can. You can get it at autozone or whatever autoparts place is by you. You car is gonna smoke more than an emphyzima patient, but its worth it. It only smokes for a few minutes while it cleans all the carbon out of your engine!

have fun with the smokescreen
