Unhappy Help with gas milage

Hi!

I read the previous thread about someone having poor gas milage but I want to see if anyone can tell me exactly what I should do.

I have a 91 Geo Storm that I haven't even had for a year. It's getting the worst gas milage of any car I've ever owned.

A friend tells me to change my spark plugs and wires. How often should they be changed?

Does anyone else have any suggestions I could use to make my car something that I like driving instead of thinking of it as a "piece?"

How old is your airfilter? If it's old and you've never changed it.....Change the airfilter. I neglected to change mine on my civic and my mpg dropped from 30-35 to 15-20mpg

also, your plugs and wire would have to be total crap for it to affect your mpg.
