I just don't get it...Pimp Daddy Caddy: gas mileage with leaky injectors, plugged up cat, no tune up, and God knows what else was wrong with it: approx 17-18 MPH. Pimp Daddy Caddy: gas mileage with full tune up including new coil, new fuel injectors and fuel pressure regulator, new exhaust w/ new cat, new 02 sensor, fresh oil change and transmission service: 18 MPG. WTF? I mean I wasn't expecting it to get 40 MPG like a Honduh, but I expected it to at least get me back to the 20 MPG I used to get when I first got the car...:-x

empty the trunk and pump up the tire pressure. My little mazda beater used to get easily over 30mpg but now I got to drive it incredibly soft to break that number again. I think it has something to do with me throwing those 14" honda dubs on it over the stock bent 13" wheels. yadunno
you sure your not beating on it a little harder with all your newfound horsepower? :)

Actually I've been driving it easier to try and get those MPG numbers up. But since that didn't work I guess I'll be back to FULL STEAM AHEAD!!!

Maybe it has something to do with the temps outside?
