    Not arguing. Just asking.

    My SCII shows lousy MPG going up, stellar MPG going down. Averages out around the same as running flat. Amazing how that works.

    I would agree if everyone got the same mileage as me in different locations but I'm pretty sure that's not the case

    I seem to average between 17 to 18 mpgs depending on the usual factors. Multiple short trips on a tank of gasoline seem to screw up my mileage more than anything else. Your drop in mileage is significant. I would bet that it turns out to be several problems, and not one single issue causing your mpg drop.

    You don't have a set of spark plug wires, so no you can't and don't need to change them.

    Each spark plug has its very own coil pack on top of it. No distributor and no spark plug wires.

    I would change plugs & run bk44 thru the tank first,then check results and get back to us.
    You know which plugs to get,right?

    Thats really not how it works. You will get better mpg on a flat road vs going up and down a hill. Science. Its not the downhill offsets the uphill , would be nice if it worked like that.

    HELP PLEASE

    I am having this problem. Just started today. Only on acceleration and sounds like it is coming from the front passenger side. When up to speed no sputtering. The sound almost sounds like one of those stupid supped up honda civics from the 90's

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    Done any maintenance lately? Mileage? All you? Driven hard in the dirt or a family truck?
