ok i have been using 93 from shell in my 2k SE. i was getting about 307, to the full tank. and now i am getting 280, which includes about 100 highway miles. what the fudge is going on

 

its winter time in Indy.. car's gotta do what a car's gotta do

 

but i dont let it sit and just warm up for long periods,,,usually i just let it sit for 2 minutes. should that make such a difference??

 

er.. someone posted it the other day.. something about the aditive in the gas for the winter.. i forgot.. too lazy to go search for it..

 

Most likely, its oxygenated gas. That crap kills fuel mileage in the winter...should go back to normal in the spring tho. If your mileage is still bad come springtime, then start worrying.

my car's MPG dropped from 22.5 to 17.1!!
damn that additive in the gas!!

 

in the summer it's A/C, in the winter it's oxygenated gas. can the brother get a break

 

yes, move to florida

 

MTBE ownz joo.. yes.. gas north of the mason dixon line is better than gas in the south.. thats why gas in the south is so cheap

 

YES, I LIVE DOWN SOUTH! and it sux..........i miss SEATTLE

 

Hows cali gas?

 

Your car's going to run rich until it reached operating temperature. As it gets colder outside your going to use a little more gas. Take it on a long trip and I'm sure your mileage will be right where it's supposed to be. Possibly even better with the cold air and fuel mixture.

 

I'm in INDY also. I haven't been driving much since it has been cold, I'll keep a check on my mileage. I have averaged 330 -310 (also use shell 93), will need to fill up today, but this is after driving to KY and back so it may be a bit higher.

hell, I may see you around town.

going to car show today, hope the G35 (XVL), or new Z !!

later

 

I got 390 before fillup.

[B]I drive express way most of the time and going on the trip ~ 220 mile round trip... I was good most of the way .... I broke 100mph once

I'm not as bad as I use to be!!!!

 

ok i just took a trip to CHI town. Got excellent mileage. I just got transfered and my new office is only 4 miles away from my house. So i go there in the morning, usually come home for lunch, go back and then come home after work. Yes alot of stop and go, which i am sure screws up my mileage.

After reading the iridium plugs thread, i did some research. Perhaps i need to change my plugs to some sort of plugs that are better for the car, for all the stop and go i do???

Any thoughts/ideas will be greatly appreciated
