MasterA few other things to check: Engine coolant tempuature(make sure it is reaching normal operation temp) Runnning cooler than normal burns more gas. Check for a lazy O2 sensor. ( may need to take to a technician to check this). Check tire air pressures and for a draging brake caliper.

ziptie12 January 03, 2013, 17:40MasterWhat percentage of ethanol does the gas you use have? Do the stations you go to switch from 'summer' to winter' blend , or are they the same year-round? JUST a thought........

ziptie12, January 04, 2013, 20:39ReplyMasterNOT octane rating.......Many fuel companies now put ETHANOL in their fuels. On the east coast where I've travelled it's usually 10%. Some states where they use it primarily as a 'winter blend' , during the summer months you won't have it and you will get better fuel economy. Simply put , you need more ethanol to produce the same amount of power , than you would with just straight gas, an ethanol mix increases the volume of fuel used , thereby reducing the MPGs. Again it was just a thought , not necessarily the issue you're dealing with. I just know in my area I've routinely seen people losing 4-8 MPG when they switch to stations using a 'blend' , worst thing is , it's getting harder and harder to find stations that don't use ethanol.
