Terrible gas mileage question

RE: Terrible gas mileage question
We replaced those a few months back, although that doesn't kill off the possibility that they could possibly not be functioning correctly. My car's not throwing any codes, but is there some other way I can check to see how rich/lean the computer says my mix is?

RE: Terrible gas mileage question
plugs - autolite #25
wires - frpp 9mm
cap & rotor - anything with brass terminals instead of aluminum
fuel filter - anything
get a spray can of MAS Sensor Cleaner
if that doesn't get the milage up, i'd have someone check the output of the coil

I already sprayed the MAS, and I've got a fuel filter (and synthetic fluids, for an oil change)..I'll go get the cap & rotor.

Dont forget to clean up the inside of the throttle body!

I'm obviously not too concerned with mileage, as I bought a 2001 Expedition Eddie Bauer (2WD), which gets about 11mpg in town, back in December.. I was just curious more because of a) considerations of advancing my timing and b) because I distinctly remembered getting much better gas mileage a while back.
It's not going to kill me if I never get more than 14mpg again, I was more just wondering than anything.

No one buys a 5.0 then worries about gas milage If that's a concern buy a volkswagen diesel tdi and you'll never wine again!!!!trust me I know I get about 45-47 mpg so the 5.0 for me now is a weekend driver

Luckily, I drive less than 10 miles per day (closer to 5, in fact), but even so.. :P
