I'll have to run through this tank of gas to see if the mileage improves with your ideas, injector cleaner, etc. I need to get the computer codes read soon which might show something.
I still suspect the slow stream of tiny bubbles in the expansion tank (leaky head gasket) may be causing the bad mpg. I don't want to gum up the works but feel another bottle of the sealer is in order. It's a tiny leak and I'm not ready to drop over $2k for new head gaskets.
The brakes aren't dragging. I've been trying everything I know to conserve gas but still only get 13mpg.
I'll post a follow up after I fill up again.
