Unhappy Getting 8 MPG??? How do i fix this??!?!?!Getting Poor!!!

Last week i decided to calculate how much MPG do i get since i realized ive been heading for tha gas station a lot....2day my tank is nearly gone and ive ran abour 110 miles only!!!!

I read about shifting b4 3k rpm, but ive been doing that.I think my car is running really rich, i hear back fire/ after burn when i hold it at 3.5k or 4k rpm and lift.....
What could my problem be??
I just changed oil and spark plug??
Could it be the fuel injectors?

Please help me solve my problem b4 i turn poor

Thank You

Hey, check out the other "gas mileage" thread we had going for 5 pages, it'll give you some good ideas...

Funny how these threads pop up when gas prices go up, lol...

I was making HORRIBLE gas mileage as well. Like in the 9mpg. I tried about everything. I had also been having a problem with power in the upper rpm's. It turns out that my clutch was slipping due to the last owner not resurfacing the flywheel.

Does anyone search anymore?

There was a thread being posted in today about gas mileage, and this has been discussed way too many times to count. So go look at the most recent thread, this one is done.
