Winter gas sucks - normally drops 2-3 MPG just from the winter fuel mix ratios. Happens to me every winter. I go from 19-20 mpg around town and drop to 17-18.

The plenum spacer will not decrease your fuel consumption if you are driving conservatively.

I would say it's probably your driving style or you might be running a little rich. You should try resetting your ECU.

I thought after the plenum if anything you should be running lean?
How you reset it?

Write down your radio presets. Disconnect your battery (neg terminal) for about 10 min. , Reconnect. Start car; reenter your presets, go for a quick drive. Enjoy!
