fuel injector cleaner...caused bad gas mileage!!!
So I bought a bottle of fuel injector cleaner and used it on my car.
as stated on the instructions, I poured the whole bottle in my tank with an almost empty gas tank.
Once the empty light lit up, I filled the car up..SHELL GAS 91 octane.
I noticeda huge improvement with the acceleration but my gas mileage is HORRIBLE!!!
65 miles and already close to half a tank.
i know that when the substance cleaned my injectors and intake valves, more gas is pumped. BUT 60 MILES USING HALF A TANK??
Hopefully this will go away and that my car will be back to its normal gas mileage
but from reading everyones response to how many miles per gallon/tank they are getting, mine is still bad.
I get about 210 miles per tank. Full to Empty!
I have2005 2.0L automatic.
<<<SORRY IF THIS IS A LITTLE HARD TO UNDERSTAND....ITS 1AM JUST GOT HOME, IM TIRED AS HELL,AND READY TO KNOCK OUT!! HAHA>>>

WTF? your car definately has something wrong with it, bring it to the dealership man. 210miles and its full to empty? super pro garbage! what fuel injector did you use? i used lucas' and i got great acceleration, but the MPG didnt go anywhere, no gain or loss, from what i can notice.
