I keep fairly accurate mileage in a little logbook in the glovebox. On a trip this summer, I was happy to be getting about 38mpg when I was going cross country.
The last time I logged about 3 weeks ago, I had about 50/50 around town/freeway miles and got about 25mpg. Not so hot; 30 would make me happy.
But I noticed last tankful that the needle seemed to be plunging pretty damn fast. I checked the gallons vs the trip odometer: 18mpg!
Yikes, that's like SUV mileage! It was mostly around town mileage so yeah, I expected crappy mileage. But it's never been this bad. I don't have a lead foot, run a/c about 50% of the time, and the car is on Mobil
1 with regular dealer maintenance (and has about 25k miles on it). I recently (6 months ago) had the MAF and some other sensor (forgot which one) replaced under warranty when the check engine light came on.Any ideas here? It makes me think something is really messed up (air filter?). Or some sensor is seriously whacked (mixture) and not reporting bad juju. I don't really know where to start looking, but
18mpg just ain't gonna cut it and it indicates to me something is seriously amiss....Thanks.
