Oil Change?

So i went like 2000 miles over my oil change... Now that i have a new filter and new oil will i get better gas mileage? What are some ways of increasing my gas mileage? I have a 2004 Ford Focus.. Yes i know it is dorky.. But when i bought it it was getting like 34 mpg highway and now it is only getting like 25... I dont want it to decrease anymore! Haha! Any help would be appreciated!Oil Change?
I just built a hydrogen pump for my car. They can double or sometime triple your gas mileage. You need to be pretty good at building things, but i would definately recommend it.



here are some examples
It should improve after the oil has time to circulate through the engine.

You can buy one of those additives you put in a full tank of gas...Oil Change?
An oil change will not increase your milege. Ask your mechanic for some tips.
The oil change should help alot. Also make sure your transmission is clean. Without that extra crud in there, your engine will run alot better. Look for places that have good gas as well. Some gas stations have gas that will last you alot longer than others.Oil Change?
Get a tune up. New spark plugs, air filter etc... Also keep your tires at the proper pressure low tire pressure will decrease gas milage on the highway.
I would get a full system check up because u shouldnt be dropping like that unless something is wrong. check the pressure on yur tires too.
make sure your tires have the right pressure, that your driving is the best it can be, by that i mean to not drive up to a stop light and then slam on the breaks, when you see that you need to stop, then you need to start slowing down, way in advance, ( by that i mean take your foot off the gas) and let the car just coast on to the stop, or off the exit, the speed up and break are what takes the most \gas, once it is going, then it uses less to keep going,



and drive 55 LOL oh how we all hated that, but it does use less gas, and i have the feeling they will do it to us again,



other things have to do with just limit the trips,



GOOD LUCK
Have you ever changed the tranny fluid and filter(if it's an automatic)?Dirty filters and fluid can cause shifting problems like late shifts which can reduce gas mileage and tranny life.A good tune up should help too.
When was the last time your air filter was changed, if its clogged that will lessen your mpg, make sure your tires are inflated to the correct poundage - I check mine monthly- run a bottle of cleaner through your gas line occasionally
Oil changes realy do't have anything to do with gas mileage. but not ghangeing you'r oil every 3000 or 3 months is verry bad for the engine.

Ways to increase gas mileage proper tire inflation,a tune up,

%26amp; slow down some.
The oil change will not effect your fuel mileage. Proper engine tune, tire inflation and driving habits have the greatest impact on fuel mileage. Have you had your engine tuned? Air filter checked?
oil change, new oil filter, new spark plugs, and a breathable intake should increase your mileage. Not too much though about a couple of mile only, but with the new gas that has 10% Ethanol in it. It will decrease the mpg you get in your car. THAT I believe is the problem.
