didnt use go into boost not ONCE...i think your lieing to use man...its

i would haveing been driving fast as Sh** the whole way

ive got the K&N already and i run 93 octane, new plugs on the way and just did a full mobile one oil change

If the plugs don't help,I would think about taking it to a Good shop near you and just have them look it over and make sure everything is on point..Just to be safe

I would have someone do a data log, you should be able to find your problem, I would do that before waisting $$$$ throwing parts at the problem and hoping that will fix it!!!!

Your O2 sensers are bad or you have a hole in your gas tank. Or a punk kid stealing your gas.

Here's a list of solutions for your horrendous gas mileage:

* WOT is not a sound you're supposed to hear while driving. It's an acronymn.

* o2 sensor died awhile ago.

* Your spark plugs look like Wesley Snipes

* Your maf is trash

* Someone is stealing your gas.

How many miles on the motor?
