Gas mileage...
I have recently switched from Regular Mobil 1 oil with Mobil 1 Truck&SUV 5w-30. since i had my 18s BBS replaced with a set of 19s Work, i expected the weight differences will make the gas mileage go down, and it did. But after the Truck&SUV Mobil 1, my gas mileage actually went up for at least 2.5-3mpg. I have tested it with doing 70mph on freeway and stay in speed limit in city in my last tank of gas, i got 22.5mpg. Before i can barely break it thru 19.5mpg. I have just filled up, I will try to see what do I get with 80mph freeway and speed limit in city.
Just wanna share with those struggling with high gas price and heavy foot!

The sad thing is, I put it in D and drove like an old man. I take it easy.
It's because of the horrible city driving. I do basically 100% city and there is stop and go every 15 or 20 seconds. Socal FTL

Seafoam is a deterrant that cleans all the carbon deposit in your fuel delivery system, intake chamber, oil crankcase, etc. You can find a can at autozone.
MAF is Mass Air Flow. It should be right next to your intake box. It senses the air flow
