Define "wasting gas". When was the last time people told you to do a full tune up?

509b16

True I haven't done a tune up
Well in two days the tank goes almost half idk y

That still doesn't tell me anything. I don't know how much you drive in one day. You could be slinging pie for a living.

What did you get for mileage on a full tank and what are you getting now?

509b16

I was getting around 320 miles a tank now its like 200 a tank

Yeah. Do a full tune up. That includes the fuel filter. That's a ridiculous drop in mileage of that's an accurate estimate.

You always burn more fuel in the cold months. Cold makes air more dense and requires more fuel in the mixture so the ECU increases the fuel to compensate. But never as much as what you're reporting.

Did you do the tuneup?

509b16

i think i have a leaking on head gasket so ima change it then the tune up

Also, set the ignition timing.

I live in WA, and my MPG has never dropped that much.

This is the worst OP ever. There's about 20 billion reasons why the car is "wasiting to much gas".

Do you let the car warm up before driving it? If so....that gas doesn't re-fill itself. The weather has a lot to do with shitty gas mileage. So do driving habits.

Saying 200 miles to the tank doesn't say much. How often do you fill up? How empty do you get your tank? Calculate the MPG based on how many miles you drove and how many gallons you filled up.

Replacing fuel filters don't improve gas mileage. Also, his estimate definitely does not sound accurate.

I poop too much... Is that a problem?

But A tuneup DOES. And if you haven't done a full one in a while you need to.

I just don't see anything good coming from leaving this open any longer.
