At about 110,000 mi I replaced plugs ,rotor, dist cap,wires. Change oil/filter every 4-5k mi. does not burn oil. Cant change fuel filter as am told its in gas tank. have cleaned injectors at about 90k, and put a couple cans of inj cleaner in tank since. my mileage has dropped from 19/22 to about 14/15 now. do I need to bite the bullet and get new injectors? Or any other suggestion appreciated!
Thx

Have you checked to make sure the catylatic converter isn't plugging up? Has there been any power loss? Finally, has the check engine light come on?
