#207 of 208 Re: 09 Rondo I4 - first 10 tanks [e_net_rider] by garnermike Nov 05, 2009 (7:01 pm)
Replying to: e_net_rider (Nov 05, 2009 12:59 pm) It's both curious and also validating that many Rondo owners have had similar experiences to my own. At 26, 000, my Rondo ('07 LX I-4) has settled into its "calling," with mpg consistently ranging between 21 and 31 mpg, averaging right around 26. It got better after 15,000 miles, and still does a lot of inexplainable swinging between the 21 and 31 marks. I don't see the odd 15 mpg or the odd 40 mpg.

Replying to: garnermike (Nov 05, 2009 7:01 pm) i have been going to the same gas station, same pump for the last few fillups, the FE swinging problem no longer exists. also, i don't top up anymore, i estimate how much gas i can pump and slow down the pump at the last 10 percent and stop pumping at the first click. .
