Talking Gas increase of MPG
I did something I don't do most of the time, even though I do tell other people to do it. I installed a bottle of injector cleaner to my fill up. To my surprise I am now getting another 6 MPG. I put it in the tank and filled the tank, and went on a 215 mile trip, on the turnpike I always got a little over 25 MPG, this time I got 31 MPG. I've been watching my mileage since the cleaner was put in, all my mileage has change to the good. I'm still getting 6 more miles to the gallon. Just a little something you guys that aren't gettting the mileage you were hoping for can try. I have an 02 X-Type with 96000 miles and she runs like a top and she gets even better gas mileage.
