    New sparkplugs/air filter = bad mileage

    Yeah my wife was averaging 15-17, just by a seat of the pants estimate. When I saw the tank go down a quarter in 30 miles, thats like 8 mpg. AND, fuel gauges tend to stay on the fuel mark longer, just because the fuel is above the float in the tank. Her truck is bone stock, with the 16 inch...
