Default bad gas mileage

Replaces spark plugs and wires rotor cap and button still getting about 12 or 13 mpg. Got my oil changed at jiffy lube the other day and they offered a service to clean my injectors for like eighty bucks. Dont know how thourough they are or if its a waste of money, OR if I can do it myself haha... Any input??

I'd say start w/ a new air filter if its been awhile/its dirt. I'm loyal to K&N & they make a drop in filter for just about every vehicle. Next I'd replace your fuel filter if it's been awhile I think they're suppose to be changed every 50,000. if that doesn't help check to make sure your brakes aren't draging thats the issue on my truck currently. hope that helps bud.

Walmart does that injector cleaner thing for like 25 if you have one around you, but thats probably not the problem, how does it run? Any CEL on?
