Help!!! Poor Gas Mileage. GS400
Hello To All , I have a 2000 GS400, Recently I have begun to get extremely poor gas mileage. I just used a full quarter tank and got only 51 miles and I was on the highway for the entire trip. I would really like to know where to start i know very little about my car other than the fact that the previous owner took very good care of the car. I do however know that for starters my air filter is dirty and needs to be replaced, my spark plugs may very well need to be changed also because i have never had the car tuned up in the 8 months ive had it , there are 131k on it now. The last thing is that my check engine light is on, I had the code read (P0446) and was told that the light is on because i need to replace the range control solenoid. I trust the mechanic who told me this , i bought the car from his son and they own a shop however their english is not the best. I would deeply appreciate any and all input that anyone may have regarding what i can do so that i can get the most miles out of my gas and have my car perform the best it possibly can. Thank u so much

Sidenote: clean your MAF sensor as well
