As i've been modding my car...it seems to eat more gas. Im kinda wondering how come, even though i already know the reason. It eats it cuz (duh) it makes more power, and that uses more gas, but i wouldnt have thought it would eat THIS much gas. I went through a 1/4 tank in ~10miles, and i went through 3/4 of a tank in a day. Yeesh. Should i try to reset my ecu or what?

How can i save a lil bit of gas???:???:

if you've eliminated the possibility of a leaking injector/injector o-ring by testing how long your rail holds pressure once you've primed it with fuel, then you can move on to the pre cat 02 sensor(s)

what kind of car is it? Check your o2 sensors. Reset the ecu, if the CEL is on, it might mean that an o2 sensor is bad, therefore the injectors are pretty much pouring gas into the engine.

It depends on what you do to ur car, maybe. maybe a tune-up? that's why my friend suggested me.

check your right foot, it may be a little heavier since you've modded your car.
