There is no reason why your car should need a tune up at 30,000 miles. My 2001 has over 67,000 miles and it still has original plugs - only routine maintenance , oil/filter changes and air cleaner changes. Runs great and the gas mileage was still good on the last long trip I took.

make sure you have no extra load of stuff in your trunk. Every 100 lbs will reduce about 2-3 MPG. Also, try and go to another gas station to see if you get better gas. I have been using Exxon with 89 and I am getting about 32MPG 95% cty.

Hmm.. I'm at 31,000 miles already and my car still runs fine. I can still get close to 400 miles a tank.

IT all depends. I have been getting good gas mileage. 39 mpg on the highway, trunk packed with a cooler, 2 suitcases, and other ****. I have 30,000 miles, and a K&N Drop in Filter. Before I started my road ventrues, I purchased 3M Fuel Injector cleaner. I dont know if that helped. or there is a better type of gas down here in Kansas.

on replacing pollen filter and bleeding brake lines


i used to average like 400 per tank....now

What was odd for me was when I lived in Seattle, I was averaging 42mpg on road trips. Now that I moved back to cali (and added an Injen intake) I'm getting around 32mpg.

they wanted to charge me $300 for a 30,000 mile tune up when all they would do is CHECK a whole bunch of crap. no one else that i know w/other kinds of cars ever has to bring theirs in for maintenance and use their college fund to pay for it.
honda is rediculous sometimes

If anyone is interested, ever since Chevron started their "techron" additive in the gas, my mileage dropped a lot. In EVERY car. I since switched to 76 or anything else. Mileage is back to normal. Try it.

Actually, I needed a MAJOR tuneup at only 17K. Plugs were fouled, tranny fluid was black...etc. Here's what I would do. All this should be easy to do yourself if you are a little familiar with cars.

-change oil (or have dealer do it)
-clean or replace air filter
-add a fuel injector cleaner to gas (techron)
-change tranny fluid (auto)
-change plugs (NGK iridium works great) if bad
