Bad gas?? what can i do?
I have a 98 montecarlo z34 and being pretty nice on the car i get about 280-300 miles a tank and i think i should be getting more than that, the plugs and wires are original and have 104k on them and i'm pretty sure that will help, i already replaced the fuel filter anything else i can do? thanks

Bad Gas - take a TUMS!!!!
Seriously, I would change the plugs and wires as you are probably getting weak spark and loosing power as well. 300 is about right on a tank of gas for city/hwy. I would actually fill your tank to max. Drive. Next time fill up to max again. Take the miles you drove and divide by gallons put in tank.
This will give you your milage and it should be in the 26-32 mpg neighborhood.

Take the crap out of your trunk and make sure your tires are properly inflated. An easy 5% increase for me.
Another on for space. Bodacious!

I always keep mine at a quarter tankand I keep my trunk empty.
That should also get you a few percentage points in mileage.
