You need a tuneup, you need to drive less aggressively, you need an alignment, you need to have your tire pressures consistent, etc, etc, etc....

How quickly are we talking about here?

i agree with shmoo, some new plugs, wires, cap, rotor, oil change the whole tuneup and like he said check your tires and make sure they are all consistent.

NEVER run low on oil... one of the things about a car you have to def. keep up with is your oil.. treat your car like it deserves to be.
