My fuel economy is down to 19.2 MPG!!! I changed my plugs, got the car aligned
 
cleaned the fuel injectors, and no improvement....what else should I do?

I was getting 25 MPG before. I'm not driving any faster or harder.

99.5 1.8TQS 77k
TIA!

i'm trying figure out where my 100 miles per tank went >=(

i also changed the plugs... i'm going to clean the injectors and change the fuel filter this weekend. also put in a tank of 100oct to burn off anything...

hopefully i'll get ~350 mpt again...

I do a good mix of freeway and city....same conditions, approx. speed, & rate of acceleration

BTW, I've noticed it dopping little by little for the last year

Hmm, maybe I should have the fuel filter changed...but I hear its good for life. think thats BS??

Mine has always been about 19-20 mpg. But then again it is a qtip.

MY tippy gets about 25-26 mpg, it does seem better during warmer weather though

PhlipMode 01-20-2003 11:34 AM

I'm about 20mpg on a 2.8q tip. I think it used to be better.

I'd think that my 5-spd would get 'bout 27...like it did when I 1st got it
