Hi,
I have a 1996 Toyota Corolla DX with 192,565 km on the odmeter.
I was wondering if others here can give me some tips on how to do some tune up to improve fuel efficiency or tune ups in general for the summer coming up.
It seems that the efficiency of my fuel consumption is getting higher. Before Usually I get roughly 400 - 480ish km per tank, now for the past couple months i am getting roughly 100 km less per tank .... this is mix of highway and city driving. I once in the blue moon have to floor my car to get up to speed on the highway on those short on ramps or when needed in the city. I have been also keeping constant speed on the highway and city.
on highway I get up to 100 km/h - 110 max. city i try to keep at posted speed.
So so far for my tune up i have:
1. Changed my oil and filter (april 14 2009)
2. Change filter (April 15 2009)
3. Flushed Coolant (last month)
4. Inflated/deflated tires to 32 psi all round
what other things are needed? .. fuel filter? and solvent in the oil to clean from autopart store or something to clean the inside of the engine?
thanks in advance,
Chris
