  • Fuel Filter maybe?

    I drive a 97 A4, 3.8L Camaro that has 67,751 miles on it. The gas mileage has been getting progressively worse lately. I used to get about 22-23 mpg in the city, but since I had the headers, exhaust, cat and CAI, I only get 15-18. Theoretically, I should get better gas mileage with it breathing better right? I have not changed the fuel filter since I bought it (it had 48,xxx on it then). Could that be the problem?

    Even if its not the problem I need to change the filter anyhow. Where is it on our cars?

    Thanks in advance.
