did replacing the filters help out your gas mileage?? just wondering because in the last 2 weeks here in ny my mileage has dropped as well...i usually get a little above 200 miles to the tank on my 96 v6 explorer and now im getting in the 170's and 180's... i dont really work on cars but if its easy enough maybe i can change these filters as well..anyone know of a place that has pictures and instructions on how to do it??
IF the filters are dirty, replacing them will help. They're pretty easy to change out (fuel filter can be crabby though). Go out and buy a Haynes repair manual ($15-20). It's written for the shade tree mechanic and has all the pix/details you will need. New plugs and wires will also help if they're old and worn.
BTW...do you have a McLaren Mustang? I've always wanted one of those...saw 'em when I was in college but couldn't afford one at the time.
