This can't be right...
...or else i'd have the best mpg ever. According to the info screen i'm getting 99.9 mpg. Of course this is not correct. But what may have caused this?
Also i have a vibration that comes when i accelerate around a turn. Seems like its coming from the front possibly near the speakers. Normally I don't notice it, but ever since xmas when i didn't have my music on loud it annoys the hell out of me.
Haven't had time to bring it to the dealer tho i'm sure they will just "not be able to have it happen" such the case time and time before. Any suggestions or comments on these problems?

What happens when you reset the mileage? (Press and hold the fuel economy button until the reading shows "**") If it goes back to a normal reading, you probably just had a system error. If it goes back to 99.9. a trip to the dealer is in store for you.
No idea on the vibration.

On another note i still have the rattling and now i seem to have something else coming from the rear. When i go over speed bumps or even simply dips in the road i can hear a noise coming from the rear, i want to say shocks or something but i really don't know. Its really hard to describe the noise exactly.

There's a TSB for a rattle from the rear parcel shelf. Could it be that?

If your noise in the rear is a "scraunch" - like a drawn out squeak - it could be the bushing on the sway bar. Sometimes it just needs some silicone spray lube or something, but if it keeps up I'd have the dealer check it out.

Definatly isn't the rattle on the rear parcel shelf, thats been there for a while, my subs just made it worse. The sway bar idea is definatly possible, going to listen a little more for it and then take it to the dealer anyways, i still don't have a shift **** and a list of other problems in need to be resolved.
