Default Tune Up Kits

Well I bought my 92lx back in November and it went right into storage for the winter since I live in Michigan. I just started driving it and I am getting crappy gas mileage. My last tank was 15.1mpg. The car is completely stock minus a CAI. I am looking around at tune up kits and just wanted some imput if I should get either of these and what else I should get that the kits don't include. Thanks in advance for any and all the help.

is it really so hard to walk into your local parts store and ask for cap/rotor/wires plugs/pcv?

No i just never really priced all this stuff out and was kind of using it as a basis for what I would need. Once I found out which one seemed better I was going to price it out before I got it to see if its actually a deal.

how bout you run a fresh tank of fuel through it , also when fuel changes back to summer fuel you should notice an increase, my vw diesel always looses 7-9 mpg in the winter with the switch of fuels

i dont think he meant there are 2 different fuel types ..i believe he was referring to the temperature differances ..i dont know the reason but in the winter you lose on the mpgs.

also depending on how and where you drive 15 mpg is not too bad .. i average about 15 0r 16 in the city .. some guys may claim to get up to 20 but thats all hiway miles or their driving like their grandmas lol
