So I still haven't replaced the exhaust and man does my mpg blow! What other things can prevent good mileage?

  • Needing a tune-up (plugs, wires, cap, rotor)
  • dirty fuel filter
  • dirty air filter
  • misadjusted timing
  • valves out of adjustment


Just some thoughts.  What MPG are you getting? :P

Dragging brakes. (Usually front caliper.)
One of the polution devices keeping mix rich. (O2, temp sensor, EGR.)
Timing (valve or ignition).
Hubs locked in.
(Front) wheel bearing stiff.
