Re: Gas milage problem
more info.
How much of a difference in gas mileage?
Are any fluids leaking from the bottom of your car?
Have you been using the defroster (with AC?)
Did they do anything becides change your oil?
Did they do a filter check?

Re: Gas milage problem
full tank of gas . now its on half and its on 90 miles on the odometer
25miles per gallon (city)
32mile per gallon (highway)
this is what it feels like
an they only changed the oil an the oil filter
no filter change yet
not using any ac
an no fluid leaking

Re: Gas milage problem
like we talked about on AIM...
Wait till the tank is refilled to calculate MPG because the gas gauge is known to be inaccurate on our cars.

Re: Gas milage problem
yeah, i'm getting the same issue, i'm thinking bad o2 sensor cuz i just changed my spark plugs, timing and i also got a new clutch set(cuz my old clutch was out) yet i'm getting about 260 @ 10 gallons.. actually a little over 10 gallons. O2? yes? or something else?

Re: Gas milage problem
Also mixture of gas in the wintertime is formulated differently for the cold weather and it does give 3mpg or so less as opposed to the summer time forumla.

Re: Gas milage problem
I have to say, a few weeks ago when I did a test, I got 39.7mpg all highway with no AC on winter formula gas. I had buddy in the car and full trunk too. I'm manual though.
