Okay- I have 2 Denso O2 sensors, Autolite plugs and wires. Jeff moved some of the wires around and cleaned the MAF recently. I hadn't gone through a full tank of gas at the time but when I filled up my mileage was 21.28 mpg. I will know more when I fill up again this weekend. Hopefully that is all that it is. IF not, I will be sure to ask for more opinions.

Thanks guys!!!!

14 is really bad gas mileage, I usually get around 20-22 in town and about 26-28 on the highway, and i drive pretty hard.

I checked mileage last night and got 24 mpg. Last week was only 21. So hopefully it will continue to increase or at least stay in the 24 range. I travel approximately 230 miles a week on the highway and about 80 miles a week in town.

Last night Jeff put some stuff called Lucas gas treatment that is supposed to clean injectors, fuel system, etc.

Hopefully it will help.

One way to help keep things in the top end of your engine clean and improve gas mileage is to use "Top Tier" gasolines. This is a link to a TSB on it.
