Example, you'll be losing some mpg if you are like this with toe.

Pretend each of the lines are your wheels.

haha, i really need to get my alignment done and see what happens i guess.

and shady thanks for your answer.
well my MS intake is less than 10k miles old so its not the filter...i use chevron with techron, the weather has been hot, but it seems to cooling down, so maybe that would change, my tires all have more than 70% thread, my alignment is defitnely off, money has been tight lately, so been paying attention to how much gas has cost, i do use my car to do everything...damn it, it could be anything...

Damn, and no thanks to me after I took the time to explain toe...

I'm going to go look for a dark corner, sit there in the fetal position, rock back and forth, and start crying.

that might explain why my dsc always goes off as well. i think they may have too much.

well you were messing around wiht my camber when we did the install john so one is cambered in a bit and the other is pretty straight, as for the fronts we never messed around with them.

very doubtful it's the alignment.
checked tire pressure lately?
what kind of air filter do you have? (oem?)
could be bad ignition coils, bad plugs, or just a heavy right foot.

I've tracked the last 52,000 miles and I noticed that my mileage has gone UP since I installed the BHR coils. (and those that know me know how hard I drive my car)

it might be tire pressure, i dont even remember the last time i check that
i have a mazdaspeed intake that has less than 10k on the filter
and i have about 5k on my all brand new coils, plugs, and wires
but then again, it just may be my heavy right foot. its not made of lead, but it is pretty heavy.
