Whats your MPG, Year and Make? Be truthful! We need better MPG's!
right now getting 14.6 MPG all city driving. I know for a fact I was pulling over 19 mpg about a year or 2 ago with a mix of city/highway driving. Not sure what the issue is. Due for new tires and maybe more evidently as I swear my gas mileage shouldn't be this bad. I think it been 60k since tune up might try that.

12-12 city
20 highway
what is seafoam, & does it clean the injectors, or is it best to remove.
Extremely non-mechanically inclined.
Lastly, how do you clean drain to prevent rain water dripping on passenger side?[/QUOTE
I have an update about gas mileage. Since I added seafoam, my mileage is now mid 17-18 in town (depending on how I drive), and almost 20 on the highway.
I do have a problem in that when I run A/C or plain air, my vent closed to defroster. Is there a fix, or am I doomed?

Bone stock = 14-15.5MPG
All stock except P235/75 R15 tires = 13-13.5 MPG
1.5" lift P235/75 R15 tires and driving like grandpa = 15-16 MPG
1.5" lift 32X11.5X15 tires and stock speedometer gear (wrong mileage) = 12MPG
1.5" lift 32X11.5X15 tires and correct 31 tooth speedometer gear = pending....
I do 60/40 city and highway.
