My last tank I got 24mpg city driving with an occasional WOT to hear the engine roar. Thats nice but when I read someone getting 36mpg on the same engine, I think it may be time for a tune up of sorts.
What should I look into doing to increase my mpg's? My sparkplugs just were replaced a few months ago, so mark that off the list. The oil is due for a replacement. And what about the O2 sensor? I believe it is an original part on my 13yo car, would replacing it be a good idea? Reducing weight the car carries is another way to increase mpg's, but theres not much to remove in my car other than a 50lb sub unit and amp. I know granny driving helps mpgs, but I don't really want to do that.
I figure other people would be intersted in this too with rising gas prices and all.
Thanks guys. -KJ
