Default gas mileage

keep in mind im in canada so we go my km's but right now I'm getting about 300 km's to a tank when I'm reading guys here are getting 270 miles to a tank. If this is not right then maybe it contributes to my hesitation problem.

I just checked mine for the first time this morning. I went 225.6 miles on 11.971 gallons.Pretty close to 19mpg for combined city and highway driving.

You're getting roughly 186 miles on a tank. I'd check your plugs, wires, fuel filter, air filter, and tire pressure. Is this all city driving or mixed? Before I upgraded to the 12 bolt with 4.10 gears the only way I would see more than 270 miles on a tank would be with almost all highway driving.
