Not sure if retarded, or a poor attempt at trolling. Or a retard trying to troll.
And of course a performance engine won't get the mileage of an electric vehicle, electric vehicles don't use gasoline. They use an electronic motor with a MPGe rating. Maybe you're thinking about hybrids? Either way, that is irrelevant as the issue isn't that he wants his car to get 50mpg. He wants ideas on why his mpg has decreased. So if you don't have any constructive comments, I'd suggest not posting at all

And with the cost of changing those LiON Batteries in the long run I'm still skeptical about the real savings..


And Experts? a Sudden Drop in MPGs when all things remain the same is a problem.. No need to be an expert or a nuclear scientist.

Im aware of his whinning decrease in MPG..what could have gone wrong? possible scenario = he's either "DELUSIONAL" or the parts store gave him incorrect plugs. LOL

Hey guys, the OP......Eespinos93, who originally started this particular thread concerning his TL's reduced "poor" MPG has not really shown any interest or responded back since last year !!!

So, with that being said.....if the Op no longer cares or has resolved his issue, why should anyone bother with bickering and the continuation of this thread. MPG's in performance vs. electric cars could be appropriately debated in the "Car Talk" sub-forum if so desired.
