I am wondering if I can get any help from a tweecer. My car has been getting bad gas mileage forever and I don't want to keep replacing parts. If I bought a tweecer r/t and did a log, could that help maybe?

i doubt a tweecer would help much.

how bad is your mileage?

i'd spend the $500 on tune up stuff (fuel filter, coil, cap, rotor, plug wires, plugs, air filter), checking and replacing any vacuum hoses that are old and worn, and getting a mechanic to look for other maintenance that needs to be done, including a leak down and a compression test.

Its like 12mpg, the best I have gotten is 14mpg. I have already done all the tune up stuff, can't find any vacume leaks.

I kind of want a tweecer, just trying to figure a reason to buy one.
