Even when I drive as gently and granny-like as possible, I have yet to top 23 MPG. I typically get 20-22. Why is this? I just had the oil changed and it helped a bit, but I am still not seeing these awesome mileages like you guys have. :(

So I finally got around to calculating it...

18-20 City / 23-25 Highway

... I'm at the 90,000mi mark, so it prolly wouldn't kill me to tune it up.

^^^ Yeah, I bought the car at 90,000, now it's at about 92,000. I'd bet everything under that hood was still there at 9 mi. Let's see... <<< RTFM ... replace Oil, Oil Filter, Fuel Filter, Air Filter, Spark Plugs, PCV. But that'd just be too easy.

Something I always do when I buy a "new" used car is go over all the fluids and maintenance as soon as I get a chance.

Yeah, I got the fuilds, just haven't gotten 'round to the maintanance. Once I do that, and maybe start letting off the throttle a bit , I'll see where my MPG stands.
