[QUOTE="Kevin Lang, post: 915491, member: 65699"] Totally knock out the plugs and the fuel filter...and get rid of the wires, since they're dead--mine were bonded to the plugs That MPG is heinous. Dat ain't rait. Normally with my short in-traffic commute(13-15 mpg) and then my later day longer commute(20 mpg) I get at least 350 out of a tank. Now I'm getting closer to my normal 400 with the ST getting used to the new tires and mods, and the warmer weather. Got 480 on a road trip, driving like a midwesterner through the Midwest and Appalachia. Lowest MPG ever was 16.8, with a cracked spark plug. Average is 19.4 MPG. Been getting some lower MPGs (18s) lately, but the bulk of 20s from the summer is pulling the average up for me. I'd be giving that dealer a suspicious glare...though only 1000 miles in a month? Man, I don't remember when I only had to drive that little amount, I feel like a modern centaur--human torso, ST legs. Again, plugs & fuel filter. Plugs are "fun", fuel filter I was gonna do mahself, but i got it done for free. That did make a noticable improvement (0.5 mpg). [/QUOTE]
