I recently had Toyota put on a new timing belt and water pump, and ever since then my gas mileage has gone from averaging anywhere from 32-24MPG to what appears to be 20ish or so now. I believe it's something they did because I was getting great gas mileage before, and now my car is a gas guzzler. Is it possible that the timing is off? And if so, would Toyota be able to fix it because they did the work on the car?
If it isn't the timing, what else could it be? -Matt |

yes, tell them you think that they have the timing off a couple teeth when they did the timing belt. even just one tooth off can make a big difference. if they check that out and it is ok, then you'll need to either have them go after the other cause or do it yourself. till then when was the last time you changed the cap/rotor, plugs/wires?
