i noticed a decrease in gas milage to could it be the more ethanol that is bein put in the gas now and some of the additives that are not causin the problem? i know the ethanol was suppose to burn cleaner but cleaner burning usually means faster to correct? also just like other people say you own a 5.0 why complain?
