How badly can poor alignment screw with your MPG.

Just got my car back from an allignment today and I swear I'm getting like 4mpg more than I ever have since picking it up or is it possible that my odometer got screwed up when they were doing the alignment?

How many miles have you driven post-alignment?

About 60 but on streets I drive all of the time and I watch my trip meter pretty closely on those streets as I'm always trying to beat my mileage. I'll know for sure how big of a difference in a week or two but it was significant enough for me to notice after about twenty miles.

If toe is out of whack, tires scrub like snowplowing on skis. I'm not sure how much it would effect mileage, but I would think that it is a factor. Did they check/reset your tire pressures too?

So it sounds like you had a good experience with Achtuning?

They definitely live up to their reputation as a good shop. The car is handling better than it ever has. I opted out of getting spacers today though which is the original reason of my appoinment - getting ready to install my snows and wanted to see how they handled the alignment first.

I'm curious, what's your current camber after alignment?

I had taken it to a different shop last week and got it back worse than when I'd taken it in which is why it had to go in this week.

Ok, my front camber is .3 and .4 out of the minimum. Guess I should try changing that.
