Angry I give up!

I just don't get it...Pimp Daddy Caddy: gas mileage with leaky injectors, plugged up cat, no tune up, and God knows what else was wrong with it: approx 17-18 MPH. Pimp Daddy Caddy: gas mileage with full tune up including new coil, new fuel injectors and fuel pressure regulator, new exhaust w/ new cat, new 02 sensor, fresh oil change and transmission service: 18 MPG. WTF? I mean I wasn't expecting it to get 40 MPG like a Honduh, but I expected it to at least get me back to the 20 MPG I used to get when I first got the car...

empty the trunk and pump up the tire pressure. My little mazda beater used to get easily over 30mpg but now I got to drive it incredibly soft to break that number again. I think it has something to do with me throwing those 14" honda dubs on it over the stock bent 13" wheels. yadunno

Actually I've been driving it easier to try and get those MPG numbers up. But since that didn't work I guess I'll be back to FULL STEAM AHEAD!!!

Maybe it has something to do with the temps outside?
