Gas Mileage...yikes
Any suggestions on how to get better gas mileage.....I filled up Sunday...70.00.....and as of today, I will have to fill her up again. I'm only getting about 120-130 miles per full tank. Is there any maintenance I should do to help better this....before gas reaches $4.00 per gallon........[sm=bs.gif]

RE: Gas Mileage...yikes
The wires are an excellent idea, and from what I understand, the 2 front O2 sensors play a role in the fuel consumption if they are going or dropping in performance. There's apparently a way to check their performance, but for about $150.00 you can change them both.
Check it out. You might want to set your plug gap at around .045-.050 when you change your wires. Makes for a longer spark and better fuel burn.
