Default Re: Gas Mileage

Is it a new car? If so, low mpg is normal during break in..

If used, make sure the air filter is clean, maybe put a bottle of stp gas treatment in on your next fill-up, in case you got a tank of watery gas.

If the problem continues, try switching gas stations/brands, and maybe have the spark plugs checked.

Remember the car was only rated 20mpg city/ 25? highway to begin with. I get 20mpg around town/25 on the interstate with my 04 GT and my wife got the same with her 03 touring.
