Thumbs up Check your toe and tire pressures.....

Redid the alignment on my focus and found front toe to be way off after only 5 months....one rear wheel also off some....tires refilled to 42 PSI (one with slow leak).

Scangauge showed a 3-4 mpg gain for a typical "trip" under similar conditions.

Will be redoing my alignment AT LEAST every 6 moths.

Seems all of the vehicles I've done an alignment on have been OFF by quite a bit.
