Very poor gas mileage..
Hey guys, so I've got a 97 3rd gen with about 230k miles , and I'm only getting 230 miles to the tank before my light goes on.. Now I remember the first day I got it I was able to hit 300 before it needed more. I've sea foamed but just curious as to what else I can do..

Check the ujoints for binding. If they're tight they can provide a lot of drag.
