#17 of 55 MPG? by stonefoxx Aug 08, 2007 (7:46 am)
I am on the first tank of gas and so far so bad... The computer is telling my I am avg. 7.1 mph? Is this normal? from the look of the gas gage it's looks to be correct... I need some help let me know what the deal is or this baby is going back Replies to this message: british_rover (Aug 08, 2007 7:49 am) stonefoxx (Aug 08, 2007 9:09 pm) british_rover (Aug 09, 2007 5:15 am) and 1 more... jeyhoe (Aug 08, 2007 8:21 pm)

Replying to: stonefoxx (Aug 08, 2007 7:46 am) Did you idle for a while at the dealership before you picked it up? Sit in heavy traffic for a while? Idle in your driveway trying out the new gadgets?   I have delivered cars that showed 4.5 mpg or less on the computer because we idled for an hour or so at the dealership while I went over all the features of the car.

Replying to: stonefoxx (Aug 08, 2007 7:46 am) Reset it and start over. See if that matters.

Replying to: british_rover (Aug 08, 2007 7:49 am) Yes I did idle for a while( 1 hour or so) as I tested all the gadgets. I am showing 72 miles with 1/2 a tank of fuel left. What should I do? Doesnt seem right. I am in normal drive mode as well... Replies to this message: british_rover (Aug 09, 2007 5:15 am) stonefoxx (Aug 09, 2007 5:45 am)

Replying to: stonefoxx (Aug 08, 2007 9:09 pm) Run the tank down to a 1/4 tank or so, refill the tank and then drive normally.   Keep track of your mileage and record the gas mileage manually. Replies to this message: stonefoxx (Aug 09, 2007 5:45 am)

#24 of 55 Re: when does it get better? [lakes00] by lakes00 Aug 17, 2007 (11:43 am)
Replying to: lakes00 (Jul 31, 2007 4:36 pm) I am responding to myself!!...I am getting 21.3 MPG as of my last tank using 93 gas & calculating the milage from the actual usage (trip miles /gallons used). I'm at 1300 miles now. I live in Florida using full air conditioning & 60/40 city/hway. I was just looking at the info in the car computer initially. The car computer is still showing avg MPG of 15.2 so do not look at it, it's not accurate at all. I tested regular/intermediate and plus gas and I definitely get better MPG with Plus (93 oct). Other than MPG I did not notice any other differences when driving with different octane gas. Now I am pretty favorably impressed...

#25 of 55 on my 3rd tank... by stonefoxx Aug 17, 2007 (11:59 am)
Using 93 I am avg 210 per tank doing a 50/50 city high way. This is not great- Coming up on 500 miles- Should I call the dealer? This doesnt seem right-
