Poor mileage.
1 Answer
As cars get older, the MPG decreases to a degree. Several factors contribute to maintaining MPG - what type of octane are you using? Has the MAF (Mass Air Flow) Sensor been checked? What type of air filter/is it clean? Type of spark plugs/coil packs? If you are at 100K, you are due for a tune-up, including a timing belt/water pump...so, $1K may be what you spend if you don't do the work yourself. Also, check your suspension (control arms, links, etc.). And don't forget tire pressure...if you are a mechanic, sorry if I told you things you already know...I'm learning the easy and the hard way about these things after 2 years of owning Volvos ('00 S40 and '00 S70).
