That's what I thought...but what could it possibly be? I use BP or Mobile gas... only mod that could possible effect it is the AEM V2, but that hasn't been on more than a couple of weeks, this has been going on since August when I bought the car. Maybe I'll try better gas?

If you are in stop & go traffic all the time, then 300 miles a tank is good already ...

normally I can squeeze 350 out of a tank, but most of the time I am going 80% hiway so my MPG is about 25 & my ave. speed is about 35 MPH ...

amen - you need to provide more data. You can also refer to www.fueleconomy.gov and lookup the TL and all other cars to see how well people are doing with real world gas mileage. This is a great web site and I highly recommend it.

I bet your MIDs average MPH reading is < 20 MPH if you are getting anything less than 17 MPG. I'm a firm believer in the MID- it is very accurate if you CLEAR it each time you FILL your gas tank - within 1 MPG of actual and usually within .5.

Agreed, average mph is always nice to know. If you can keep it above 30 mph average, you should be well into the mid-20s.
