poor mpg

[AleroDrime]

it is but you run with the traffic on the interstate, witch is normally doing ten over, i racked up that 93 prolly either messing with those bikes, or dodging the sequia that was changing lanes with me in its blind-spot

btw i hate old pple who dont signal while changing lanes, does anyone else realize its a moving violation to change lanes with out signals???, yes i weave traffic like an idoit but i signal

ya it is annoying when people do not signal.

I hate when people speed up and slow down and when you speed up to loose them they follow.

i know i need a new o2 sensor and i think an fpr. but seriously tho 40 on the highway and 26 city??? i get like 18 city, and my plugs are new, fuel pump and filter are new. those two things shouldnt affect me THAT much right?

and the one in the engine by the header is the upstream correct?

How is your coolent level?

[AleroDrime]

im sure thats a miscalculation, even though abhellrazor claims 38 mpg, The new epa ratings for our car is 21 City and 30 Highway, http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/findacar.htm Even though i just averaged 32 the other day, ofcourse i have my 51psi tires at 48lbs and a CAI and new plugs

Tips for impoving though, would be slow down and try to accelerate slower, stay ontop of tire pressure, and maybe run STP or SEAFOAM fuel cleaner every 2-3 months
read this (i think itd be cool if we could find that curve for our car)
