Have you tried some of that fuel injector cleaner stuff?

I used it once on my Camry along with a tune up and my fuel economy jumped back up to the original EPA rating.

Are you starting your car in the mornings to let it warm up?

To be honest, 29 MPG isn't bad. Considering your car was rated at 29 city/35 highway over 15 years ago.

I used sea foam on my 97 ex yesterday. It is running a little better, but it hasn't been long enough to notice a difference in fuel mileage.

Well at 65 miles on the new tank, I changed spark plug wires, distro cap, and rotor, and changed the oil, and seafoamed the intake system and cleaned the fuel system with BG 44k.

This tank I got 364 miles!!!! So without even a full tank of the car being fixed, I have already seen a benefit of 6mpg!

Im expecting to get 370-390 miles to this next tank, and should be right back on par with what I was hoping for!

HOORAY!

Well the new tank of gas is actually disappearing faster than I thought it would, not sure why.

Im still hoping to average 350 miles of city driving, and get around 400 on highway again!
