Yo hihosilver

What year is your 300E? How many miles?

Did the bad mileage start before the tune up or right after?

Have you replaced your O2 sensor .... how old is it?

What plugs did you put into it? Did you check the gap on them?

Often using Techron in a less than full tank of fuel can clean injectors quite well.

Be sure to check the airfilter but my guess is it is in need of an mixture check and possibly an 02 sensor.
