Check your thermostat. Running cold > runs rich > bad mileage.

Check the obvious tune-up items (plugs, wires, etc.), try cleaning the MAF sensor with some electrical contact cleaner, clean the throttle body, and also take a look at the fuel pressure regulator and make sure it isn't leaking and sucking extra fuel. It's located in the center of the driver's side fuel rail. With the engine off, pull the vacuum hose off of it and check for the presence of fuel (either dripping or noticeable smell). If fuel is present, the fp reg is bad and needs replacement.

This might sound silly, but also check and make sure that none of the brakes are siezing up...

ok checked my fp reg.....and no leak, and no smell of gas.

fp was 48 at idle/ 58 at wot, or vac line disconnected.

upped it to 52 at idle, 62 at wot.
