Default 2008 scion XB

Hi
got a scion XB last week f
Looks like its a 19 mpg car (((
Air filter is good, tires properly inflated, sparks plug need to be replaced but cant see a 4 mpg jump with new ones..

Also rear wheel bearing are a bit loud ..not as bad as what Ive seen online videos but probably should replace them .
$150 at Oreillys(((((((
Any other places cheaper yet reliable ?

Other than that great little car

Hi and welcome to ScionLife!!!

Do all usual maintenance items:

- compression-test, post numbers here you may have clogged rings
- inspect for vacuum-leaks along entire intake-tract, this throws off load-readings to ECU
- measure vacuum at all vacuum-hoses, what are they at idle with warmed up engine?
- measure pressure in fuel-rail
