I have filed up my tank twice since purchasing the "Blue Bomber" and both tanks I have averaged 23 MPG with 60% city and 40% highway - I'm very happy with the MPG - I traded in my '06 Unlimited Wrangler  it was a sad day but my commute is 60 miles round trip so I needed a better MPG car. I must say I do enjoy the "Blue Bomber" so far...

During the month of January I got HORRIBLE MPG! I have a 2007 Honda Element EX 4WD and I only got 17-18 MPG. I usually get about 24-27. This month I got around 26. Anyone know why I could have gotten that bad of milage? Anyone else with this problem? I drove exactly as I do all the time and no new situations so I can not come up with a reason. Thank you for any help.

I've read alot on here not getting good gas mileage? What kind of gas are you using? I use Chevron, or union76, 87 octang. I've got almost 5000 miles on my 3 month old 07element, I bought this car new in Nov.07. I get 30 hiway and 24 city. If I use AM/PM I can drop at least 6 miles per gallon on both. Check the gas you're using, it makes a difference. Also I use cruise control whenever I can.

| Mixed highway and city. In the winter I have been getting around 20mpg when it was warmer i was getting 23-24. | |

| It is hard to tell any seasonal difference, because it gets to 40 about 5 times a year and thats a low. | |

Current Miles Per Gallon: City 60% & Highway 40%: 22.19 mpg on mixed driving 205.5 miles/9.26 gals. Highway 100%: 109.6 miles/4.11 gals. - 26.6 mpg Equipment & Maintenance: Odometer: 133,000 87 Octane Kroger Fuel Used 80% of the time Synthetic Oil Change every 5,000 miles Cooper Radial Tire Rotation every 5,000 miles After Market Fuel Reduction Molecular Plates Attached to Oil Pan and Fuel Tank 8 Months Ago Comments: This vehicles used to get a maximum of 21 mpg on the highway and about 19 in the city. I added the fuel reduction plates about a year ago and have seen a maximum of 32.5 mpg on a trip during December between Columbia, SC and Orlando. I typically run 75 - 80 mph on the highway. The air conditioning is always running, even if I have the sun roof removed when it's really hot. The plates seem to be working. $80 well spent. Getting ready to install an HHO device to see what that'll do.
