2 mpg LOSS!
Lost about 2mpg- started right after I "cleaned" washed, oiled the new K&N air filter. New filter has 10,000miles -so, I cleaner her, I have run these filters for 100,000 so cleaning is nothing new to me. I've put 5 tanks of gas through and the mpg is about 11mpg. We had her up to 13.5 solid for about 16 months.
Plugs, Wires, FF, PCV vlave, coil,and cap new as of 11/2003
Haven't run the A/C a lick - we've had a cold snap here in FLA.
Yes, I know I have the TB upgrade.

Have you checked FP at the rail? Sounds like you may be losing pressure or have a failing regulator. Loss of pressure will actually reduce your mileage.
Cleaning the rest of the intake components, ya know the typical IAc and throttle body stuff may help too since there was evidently enough crud to warrant cleaning the filter.

What plugs are you using and coil? did you replace your o2 sensor . then unplug battery for 15mins to clear it and then drive so it relearns. also should check timing . should be at 10* btdc with spout removed
