I recently purchased a 2000 model with 48k miles. It has no visual modifications, I am not an obese man, and don't drive it abnormally hard. I drive about 50/50 highway and city. Why am i getting such bad mileage??

thanks!

 

i get about the same. try a spark plug change thats what im gunna try

 

00 models run a little more rich than later years but it shouldnt be so bad. i think it may have to do with the driving habits, spark plugs, and fuel injectors

 

18 mpg is not great, but it's certainly not horrible gas milage.

 

air filter, fuel injector cleaner, check tire pressure.

 

immature throttle foot.

 

 

 

might be a o2 sensor, although you would probably have thrown a code... check engine light on?

 

you must be getting after it, becaue i get about 28-30 mpg...
