Trust me when I say this.
Go to Autozone, but two cans of seafoam. Dump one can in your cranckcase (after car is warmed), dump another can in your gas tank (full tank). Let it soak for a abotu two hours. Turn the car and get ready for a smoke show. I just seafoamed my car and I can honestly say I gained about 3 mpgs from it.

P.S. I'm doing 23-24mpg right now.

I have been debating ever since Otter brought it up, about creating a Fuelly account and finally did it tonight. I updated all my fuel ups on there as well just in case I break my phone or something, and will continue to update every fuel up.
I have been trying these tips from Fuelly the last couple weeks, and have a slight increase in MPG.
This was tricky because I usually upshift anywhere between 2500-3000 RPM.
I already drive the speed limit, but I started driving a little less than this last week.
I already have a CAI
I continue to have a little trouble with this one because I just wake up, go, and try not to be late.

Use the line that comes from the brake boost.
I had my friend that works at Autozone do it. He put a little less then half in the tank and the rest sucked in through the vac hose. He used another 2 feet of hose connected to the vac via tape( make sure all it's sealed) so the suction will not be to fast. Let it idle for like 10 min and then rev it slowly and be ready for you neighbors to start *****ing at you lol
It will smoke for like 30 min. After 15-20 minutes of ideling and reving we took it for a ride. 30 minutes later all was clean.

The can where you put the brake fluid sits in top of the master cylinder and this one is connected to a round black metal box. This round black metal box is the booster. To left of it there is a hose going into the engine. That's the hose you need to use. Disconnect it from the end that is connected to the booster so the suction is made into the engine.
I forgot to mention in previous post that when sucking the seafoam through the vac your engine might stole or run crappy, that's ok . If it shuts of give it a few seconds an restart it till your done. Once your done reconnect the hose and let it idle.

It's next to the firewall/back to the right.
I am sorry, I don't want to sound like an a$$ but if you don't know where is the cup for your brake fluid you should have somebody else do it for you. I'm sure if you ask the guys at Autozone they will help you.
