 Subject: gas mileage... help
IP: Logged
Message:
I just hit 25 000 kms on my truck and i noticed
that about 2 tanks of gas ago my mileage
suddenly dropped to about 40 kms lower then
what i usually get for the same amount of gas.
The only things ive done so far on it have been
sparkplugs (a long time ago) and a quick D
intake (about 3000 ago). Is it just the intake
that needs to be cleaned already or should i
be looking for something else?

has your driving style change? where you drive? Climate? changed type of fuel? There can be many different things.

you prolly just need to do a minor tune-up. Oil change, air filter, maybe plugs and clean the throttle body.
