Hello,
My '04 XT has about 60k miles on it, and I've been getting terrible gas mileage on the past 2 tanks - like 12 or 13mpg. I use 93 octane gas all the time and have replaced filters/plugs when I was supposed to.
The main possible cause is that all my recent mileage has been about all city driving and about 1% highway. And most of that driving was when we were clobbered with a couple of 18"+ snow storms and the roads were in terrible shape (think 5mph driving). I understand this might be "winter gas" for whatever that's worth.
But I think it's more than that and have been told that cleaning my MAF sensor might help. Problem is, I'm not sure I have an MAF or MAP. I've read Peaty's post on it but to be honest I'm still a little confused. If I do have an MAF, I'll go to the autostore and buy MAF specific cleaner and spray it down to see if that helps.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks
