Anyone ever notice a massive drop in gas mileage after having their alignment done? Im getting about 230 miles per tank after having my alignment done and new tires put in... i was normally seeing about 400+ per tank... i tried dumping in fuel cleaner, new filter, oil change, etc etc but nothing is making any significant improvement.... any ideas? its been about two weeks now i dont even know if i can take it back to have em correct it at all..

If nothing else was done, it sounds like they may have screwed up your alignment. One of your wheels could also be bent, which can throw the measurement off. The alignment can definitely have a big effect on fuel mileage. Did you get the printout with measurements before and after? If so, post a copy of the printout or list what the measurements were.
