I drive 90 miles a day highway and now have 25,232 miles on the car. For some reason my usually tank of gas wont get 300 miles anymore. I get around 210 miles a tank. I have had the alignment checked 10 times at different places so I dont think it the alignment. I just got a recall notice about a fuel distributor, would this be the reason my gas is going so fast? I also wanna know does the steering wheel usually shake at any speed?



Sorry for bothering you guys.



Literally dozens of items could affect your mileage. With 25k miles, I would think about changing your air filter, pcv valve and breather filter (if it has one), fuel filter, check the gap on your spark plugs or change to platinum plugs if it doesn't already have them, and check and/or replace your spark plug wires.

As for the steering wheel shaking, have your tires balanced and rotated and check the tires for uneven wear or cupping.

I thought of the pcv valve but cannot find it anywhere on the car.
