It is a real mystery to me why some folks that reportorially drive responsible are getting crappy fuel mileage? I have not calculated my current tank of fuel, but 40+ average for every gallon since new. If it is like any other vehicle I have owned fuel mileage will increase after break in. Do you use the same brand/octane fuel on each fill up? I have gotten better fuel mileage by changing brands in the past.
