for those almost stock solara that getting below 22mpg.... i would suggest you to get alighment done, hopefully it will help. if it doesnt work, check if you used engine oil that is heavir then 10w-30. ideally the 5w-30 is the most fuel efficient oil. Also, if you are over 60k and getting bad mileage, it will be a good idea to replace the spark plugs. if you try all of those steps and still fail to improve the mpg, then we will try to figure out the problem.
