there should be guide lines in the install section, i think. basically, you should clean out the throttle body and maf sensor. my car's been eating gas too. i just replaced my air filter, spark plugs (denso iridiums), oil, and used seafoam in the gas tank. im gonna clean the t/b and maf later on as well. 
I've mastered the art of the After Image Technique.

Temperature really affects mileage in our cars as I found out. I lost 10mpg this winter. Above 50 degrees and I get nearly 30, below 40 and I'm in the low 20s.
