If this is just a basic tune up then the cost is about $135.00 (varies with local hourly labor rates), more if the distributor cap and rotor are in need of replacing
A tune up consists of the followig:
-Spark plug replacement
-Air filter cleaning/replacement
-Fuel Filter replacement
-Engine timing correction.
So yes, you must do a tune up every once in a while and a must before an emissions evaluation.
It's not very costly and can be easily affordable by someone who can purchase gas for everyday use. For a 1996 Nissan Sentra, most of the cost will come from the spark plug that you will buy and the labor cost for correcting the timing of the vehicle.
The maintenance tune ups, for most of the cars, are scheduled at 30K, 60K , 90K miles. If you are late on the scheduled maintenance tune up, of course your car needs it, but to find the problem you need a "Check and Advice", only at Volvo dealer. It cost $65 to $100, on the top of tune up cost.
About the only real fuel related problems I've seen with mine is the fuel pump going out. Tune ups are rather easy. A Bentley Manual will tell you all you need to know about the car. They are extremely detailed and well worth the money.
