I Think we Have a Problem

Our Honda Accord which has been getting close to 30 MPG has had a drastic drop recently.  We are now struggling to get 22.


I thought it might be the brakes dragging and since they were due to be replaced, took care of that.  I even replaced the rotors and calipers in case they were binding.  It really didn't make any difference.  One thing I noticed on the scan gauge last night was the input air temp was around 120deg.  This is way higher than it should be in my opinion.  Perhaps the filter is clogged and it is sucking hot air in from around the filter housing.  Tonight I will replace it.  Stay tunned.....
