When I bought used. It get 9.

Remove auto hub's mechanical because it stuck in 4wd It went up 12.

New 2 oxygen sensors 13.5-14

Replaced MAF sensor that improve to 15-16. Old one was bad

Air tires to max psi that say on tire I think 44 psi. Didn't notice little maybe.5-1

Replaced all exhaust system because cat converters were clogged badly from carbon. That DRAMATIC IMPROVE to 21 mpg on Highway without vacuum gauge

Vacuum Gauge is #1 important list for try save gas.

25 mpg on highway only happened during summer since we on winter blend so we see 19-20 but have bad head gasket so it basically run little lose power so I am on gas pedal slightly more than I do in summer.

by chance, are you russian?
