Gas mileage

[accordme93]

Usually I get about 330 mile per tank around town. About 400 on the highway. But last fill up I noticed that I only got about 250 or so. I was really shocked. This is the first time that has happened.

I know there could be a lot of reason as to why my mileage drastically decreased within the last month. But is there any obvious things I should check? Someone mentioned spark plugs. What about the fuel filter? That was changed less than 2 years ago so it should be OK.

Any ideas? With the current prices of gas I can't afford to lose those miles.

Well consider yourself lucky. If you can find gas cheaper than $2.00 around here you're lucky.

Bingo. I've been paying about $2.40 the last couple of weeks (premium)

Why do you buy premium?

[accordme93]

Yeah I wish I could afford premium.

Oh and, anyone have ideas about my problem?

hmm well I think I will start at the plugs. I've never touched them in the almost 5 years I've owned the car. On the other side, my fuel filter has been changed, the distrubutor was complete replaced, and I have ran injector cleaner. Of course that was 3 years ago so I probably will run some more through the system.

I'm thinking it has to be the plugs.

you could always panhandle....then buy a syphon and bootleg some gas outside the gas station

Dude, if that H22 is internally stock, you DON'T need to run premium.

Now that I have never heard. Heck, I feel the computer backing off every once in a while running with premium. Probably will run terribly with anything lower.

Just another 2c. Im averaging about 290 per tank at about 1.75/gal. Usually between 21 and 23 mpg..
