my problem is simply this, I believe my stang is getting crappy mileage because the engine is simply not burning the fuel correctly. I can tell because when I start the car up and run it, it really smells like badly burnt gas. What can help me fix this problem or is the compression or combustion on the engine basically gone. its a 5.0 motor, with 123K on it. lettme know thanks..
P.S. will new plugs and wires help at all??? ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

Yes, do a tune up....
When was the last time your O2's were replaced, that might have a lot to do with your air/fuel ratio...

change fuel filter, check fuel pressure as this is often the problem, new O2's are a good idea if their old, clean the fuel injectors at the fuel rail, make sure your air filter isn't dirty. general tune up stuff
