Hey everyone, glad to join the board. I just got a used 2003 Protege ES. Its silver with all the options and has 40k miles. The car is great but it seems to be burning gas pretty fast. I cruise on the highway most of the time but whats the best wasy to get the gas mileage back. Is there any engine services that you think would help? Thanks guys.

howdy, welcome to the forum. usually changing your spark plugs/wires, air filter, fuel filter, oil, and just typical maintance things will improve your gas milage.
but yeah measure it from a full tank, maybe it's not as bad.. how hard do you drive it?

Welcome to the forums (thumb)
My avg mpg is about 27. but I drive it like i stole it most of the time. i figure whats the point of going from point A to point B if its not fun along the way.
like mentioned above, make sure all your normal maintainance is done (air filter, oil changes, spark plugs, pcv, etc) this will keep the engine spinning like it should be, without having to work harder
