FWIW I tend to average ~15mpg city & ~24mpg highway. Kinda makes me think I'm driving a 3g RX7 at times w/ a BSFC like that!

Default driving habits

Since it has gotten colder, I have cut back on A/C use by at least half. I have been working a lot lately, and only drive it back and forth to work, about 45 miles an hour in 4th gear. I don't have the opportunity to romp on it too much, and not too many miles come from the freeway.

If the first tank gave me 150 miles, i would not have any problem. It guzzles gas. It has been consistently 230ish miles per fill up, with hard driving and freeway miles included. Back and forth to work cannot just give 130 miles a tank out of the blue. Dealer is being great about it, they are giving me a loaner while they check it out. Also reflashing it for me.

Try using 5th gear (even 6th when possible) and milage will improve...just don't expect fast pickup without changing gears downward.

Making an appointment today, just thought to share. Anyone heard anything like this? I'll keep you posted
You get the same mileage as my 93 bounder motorhome. And 6 mpg worse than my Tahoe.
