Why am I getting such horrible gas mileage?

The car sat for about 7 months. I bought it and put a new air filter in it along with new plugs and changed the oil and a new oil filter, the tires are new, so the air in them is the right amount. I even have been putting in a bottle of that stuff to help the fuel injecters?? cant remember what it is called. But filling up the tank...Im lucky to get 140 miles from it! That sucks! I have never got gas milleage that bad in my life from any car! What on earth can it be? Please help me to do something to fix this problem!

Without knowing what kind of car you drive and how you drive it, or even what mileage you are getting, nobody is going to be able to help you in the least. It's been stated, what is horrible for one person might be just fine for another. How do you drive this vehicle?

Please give us a little info. Thanks.
