You can rent scanners at autozone and other auto parts stores, not worth it to buy one when you can check things for free.

I bought one a while back. and have used it very many times, on friends cars, my cars etc. I feel its paid for itself on gas i would have spent going to and from the parts stores to check it each time. :) plus it was only like 30-40 bucks

Clean your throttle body and run an intake cleaner through a vacuum source. Change your spark plugs. Air filter dirty? If your o2s are bad enough to effect fuel economy it would set a code and turn on the check engine light. Make sure your tires are at least 30 psi.
For the funky shifting do like said above, flush the trans fluid and replace filter, if you can drop the pan and replace the filter on a Kia Rio idk.

So i talked to a guy today, he said on his the gas light comes on theres still 4 galloms left in the tank lol, so next time i fill up im checkin how much i actually use :lol: so bein wrong with this i aint even mad haha. Thanks for the help tho guys, at least this puts me in good numbers
LOL, you weren't actually checking your gas mileage? Go to a pump and fill it all the way up. When it gets close to full, then put the pump on the slowest setting. Reset your trip meter, then do your driving. When empty go back to the same pump and do the same thing. Take the miles on your trip meter and divide by the gallons you just put in, that is your gas mileage.
