I just took a trip to Vegas from the LA area. I drove in my fathers 02 PT Cruiser. His car was almost on empty when we arrived in Vegas. The trip was only 255 miles one way. When we filled up, the car averaged only 23mpg. The PT should be getting in the low 30's on the highway. I buy either Regane or Lucas injector cleaner every six months for my parents cars.
I got my mother to use Tier 1 stations only. I still can't convince my cheap skate father to use them. He only goes to Arco, or Valero to save $.02 a gallon.
My father only drives his car maybe twice a week, and this is around town only. So I was thinking between the cheap gas, and short trips. The injectors are probably really clogged.
So what do you guys think I should buy to help the problem. I told him to stop going to those stations. I will be buying some Redline Fuel System Cleaner before I head back home.
