I'm approaching 75K miles and I feel like my car is running slower and my gas mileage is starting to fade but just by a bit. What should I do for a "tune-up"? I've never really got one before for my car, but would prefer to do it my self just to save the money.


Anyone wanna sell an SVT Tour Rear Bumper?!! V6 Mustangs are a menice and a joke!
