All the basic stuff, air temps, tire pressure, fuel grade, air filters, plug and wires, emission components (EGR, O2's, cats), driving habits, cross and/or head winds, ECT

If your lookin for better gas mileage an intake with a k&n filter might help or maybe some gas cleaning stuff seeing your fuel may be clogged . Happens every so often in my 04 sxt. I just add the fuel injector cleaner and my gas mileage is better. Also might need new plugs and wires.

What exactly did your tune-up consist of? Perhaps it is your method of driving (too much gas pedal)? Perhaps it is the area you live in (are there steeper grades)? Are the tires at the correct PSI, while cold?

What about answering the other two questions? Don't take it so personal; trying to help by asking common questions about common causes of low gas mileage. Sometimes, people don't realize things until others point it out.
