Going the wrong way
I have a problem. 8 of my last 10 tanks have been under 50 mpg, and those 10 tanks average 2.6 mpg worse than average. They've brought my average mpg down from 49.6 to 49.3 mpg.
I changed the air filter and checked spark plug gaps. New tires may contribute to the low mileage, and I was fighting headwinds on several of the recent tanks, but the trend is worrisome. I'm gong to replace the front O2 sensor to see if it helps.
Suggestions?
