Tune Up and fuel Injection cleaner. Check the Tire Pressure in your tires as well. and this is the hardest thing to do, but set the Crusie control for 50mph and then you would get great milage.

I'd find a new one, but this one is just my type :P rare type indeed too ^^ And I'd move in but, I'm still in high school so not till another year or so.

I've been using fuel injection cleaner for awhile, not much difference noticeable. Turned off my a/c too when i drive, but not much differences, but maybe ill try the Tune Up and the air filter

you shouldnt put that crap in your car...that prematurely wears out your engine. its like putting pure alcohol/octane in your engine...it burns out the engine after a while.
