When I asked, they said they adjusted the toe front and back.

Now I'm getting about 18% less MPG. I averaged around 33 MPG on the highway. The tech at discount tire said he had 32psi in each tire. I don't think that moving it up to 35psi will account for 18% MPG. Why did my gas mileage change so drastically?

Honestly, I kind of want to move the toe back if that means better gas mileage! HAHA

You are getting worse fuel mileage for insulting the dealership personal with your stupid and cowardly "stealership" insult.

Go away.

EDIT: There's nothing like using your first post to insult a large number of people...
