How much would your fuel mileage suffer if your cars alignment was off?

Or would it at all?

i can see it hurting some
if one tire is "dragging", i can see it causing some problems
nothing ridiculously bad mileage wise, just some im sure.

it may have a bigger affect than u think, as well as tire pressure

yeah, I do watch the tire pressure, but they are wearing on the insides so I know I need new shocks and or an alignment. I am in a neverending quest to increase the cars mileage.

hey do you happen to have any pics of your cars aluminum dash kit?

If you already notice wear on your tires......if you get an alignment the alignment will be ok.
When you buy a new tire/tires- the alignment will be fuxored again- because it was compensating for the worn tire.
You'll need to get ANOTHER alignment with your new tires.
