Economy issue

[dreww2001]

So what does your shop think about your fuel economy???

not really something ive brought up, im broke right now after the body module fix so im thinking once i get some more money have them go in and replace some stuff thats wearing like 02 sensors, plugs stuff like that.

the only one that i've seen is redline that worked, ill get on amazon a little later and check it out.

I get it from Walmart, it runs around $13.00. I think one can treats 20 gallons, so you'll need a little more than 1 to treat a full tank

Royal Purple is junk compared to Kreen

Have you tried Royal Purple Max Clean. It's the only injector cleaner that I've used that was worth a crap. It's got some awesome reviews

X 2.

I have to give Kreen a try next time.

First bought my 13 hoe i was getting 14.7 or something since cai it a constant 13.6...mostly around town driving....very little highway.... even on a 3000 mile round trip... no change 55,000 now

I drive a 2008 Tahoe and get a consistent average of 14.8 mpg with mostly city/suburb driving and a smooth but assertive driving style.
If you can't get at least 13 mpg with a moderate driving style, something is definitely wrong and you are wise to look into the cause.

I just averaged 20.2 from D.C. to OC yesterday. Mixed driving is between 13 to 15. NoVa traffic SUCKS!!
