nothing special but long extensions breaker bar if your weak. I find it easier taking the batt out, no need to take the manifold off.

bad fuel consumption is generally a result of

old spark plugs
old fuel filter
old o2 sensor
dirty air filter

Got the fuel filter from AutoBarn.

No real reason to change it but i thought while i had the manifold off i would change all my filters, lead, plugs and oils with the best of products so I know my car is in the best condition she could be in.
