    jesus only 13 mpgs, that tune up needs to come sooner than later.

    Tuners aint cheap.

    You are looking at 300-500+ bucks for a tuner, none of which are hand held. The only tuners that work on these cars are laptop tuners. Lots of time and research must be done in order to us them well.

    I would just do that tune soon, like plugs and wires and stuff.

    And depending on where you drive and how far will determine fuel economy too. Short trips kill the mpgs, but they can get a mid 20's mixed driving.
