Default 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 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...
