Gas mileage has gone from 18 mpg to 15/16 mpg (I have not changed my driving habits.) I have replaced the air filter.

I have even changed my gas station to rule out the free things before I start changing out parts.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

2003 996 cab 40k miles, tires half worn and properly inflated Over the past couple of weeks I have notice my mpg is decreasing. Gas mileage has gone from 18 mpg to 15/16 mpg (I have not changed my driving habits.) I have replaced the air filter. I have even changed my gas station to rule out the free things before I start changing out parts. I want to change out the fuel filter but not sure where on the vehicle it is located. Where on the vehicle is this part located? I have the tools and moderate skills for garage type jobs. Is this a 996 DIY job? I will most likely change the plugs as well. The owners manual advised they need to be changed at 60k service. Any thoughts on this? Your responses appreciated in advance.

Fuel filter is in the tank, does not need changing. First thing is to have the engine management system read with a Porsche tester and see what the numbers are.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
