Default Gas Mileage Problems
My gas mileage has started to degrade and i'm not sure why? My gas light use to come on at approximately 110 miles on the tank - now, its coming on with approximately 95 - wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I just changed the air filter/plugs/oil - with same results?

Your getting good mileage. I only get about 80 miles before my light comes on.

Maybe you are opening the throttle a little more and drinking more fuel. Did you add an exhaust or power commander to it lately. Those will affect fuel mileage.

Or you could be in a low gear most of the time.
