Default RE: HORRIBLE GAS MILAGE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My first question would be is it using any oil, because if it is, then you may have the infamous valve guide issue that so many of us with the 3.0L have had in the past.[:@] I would also check the EGR valve, if the 3.0L has one...I dont remember if it does or not, but when the EGR went in our 3.3L our mileage dropped like a rock. Thats where I would look. Good Luck
