Re: high mpg
well with the weather we been having latly you wont see high mpg, sadly
but anyway could be a few things affecting mpg, first thing is yes give it a service
airfilter clogged, fuel filter clogged could cause low mpg
check your tyre pressures, as these can affect it,
weight is another killer.
its nice to have a massive sound system but these usualy weigh a ton and ruin fuel consumption
