Summer = Low Mpg?!?
#2
Theoretically you should get better MPG in summer... if the air is warmer, the car is sensing that it's less dense, and thus giving the engine less fuel to mix with the air. Kind of the opposite of the cold air = power thing.

opposite for me
I get much better mileage in the summer, often topping 30 mpg with the 5-speed. Unfortunately I'm wondering if I'm leaking oil now. Can't imagine anyway that I'm burning it.....try a new air filter to see if your mileage goes up

I just got 26mpg out of my 10year old 142,000mi engine. Its the best Ive seen so far.
Ive got a 3rd Gen, obviously, with a fuel tank capacity of 18.3Gallons, I think. The most the pump will ever let me put in is 16. If I let the pump go, it stops and like 14.2gallons. WTF? I milk the pump a little more till I get an even number, usually 15. I let the "Low Fuel" light stay on for a while. How many miles are you supposed to get after that light comes on? I figure at least 40miles. My last tank, 390miles, I filled it up and barely got 15 gallons to go in...

It is tough to say, as each car is different, but in my 4th gen, I have 2.5 - 3 gallons left when the gas light comes on.

i get bad gas mileage but it's the way i drive, my gas gauge is funny though. it stays on the F for 60 miles then is at E and i could drive for another 60 at least on down low and when the light comes on i can only but maybe 15 gallons in the tank.
