Default whats everyone's MPG?

for some reason i only get around 190 - 200 miles on a tank of 93. i think i should be doing better than this. what does everyone else get, and if this is too low what do i need to change cause gas is 2.40 a gallon and thats not helping the srt aftermarket funds at all

check your air filter if its old, dirty, clogged up that will greatly reduce mpg. your driving style. i cant really give a good idea about mine since i dont drive often latly. alignment, bad alignment will also cause bad mpg, under or over inflated tires. just woke up so if more come across my mind ill let you know.

my car is for sure out of aligned, and i checked my filter the other dau and it was fine but i cleaned it anyway. i called the dealer to find out about getting the 30k service and they wanted 100$. so i asked what all they were going to do and he said change the plugs....i told that guy he was outside his mind. however i do need wires and plugs...anyone got any recommendations as to what size wires and brand of both?

if you're going to go to a regular parts store just give them the plug number and DON'T tell them what car it's for. they're too stupid to understand and they'll just argue with you that those plugs don't fit. if you can't get them locally, get them online. get either the 8.5mm or 9.0mm wires. it doesn't really make all that much of a difference.

what plug number? the 4306? just go to sparkplugs.com and get everything there, it's so much easier. shipping is kinda expensive though so i would suggest getting a few sets, you'll go through them anyway.
