Recently I've noticed that my gas mileage has dropped. I was orignally getting anywhere from 400KM (250miles) to 380KM(237) per tank of gas, now I've noticed that its dropped to around 300(187) to 280(175) KM per tank.
I realize that colder weather is supposed to play some sort of effect, but that bad?
Also a recent Dyno Day(oct6), at around 5500-5800 RPMs they couldn't get a reading for my car. The mechanic there said it was due to a faulty spark plug wire. Got GM to check the wires are they said they were fine... <img src="images/icons/confused.gif" border="0">
I'll ask about my dyno #'s later.
BTW my car has approx. 5100miles on it.
Thanks
Gary

I got 21 MPG that was a trip from Houston to San antonio (180 miles) then city driving until i filled up with 14.4 gallons at 301 miles.
just normal driving, not pimpin' for it.
mileage shot up with the FTRA... I can't say how much, motor is just now at 2200 miles.

I've been getting about 18 miles a gallon, sometimes a bit more. (general driving)
Does which grade of gas you use make a difference? I use the middle one if so. (BP stations).

Figure this one out. Had the Vig 3200 installed and I'm at like 240 miles with over a 1/4 tank left. <img src="images/icons/smile.gif" border="0">
