Re: Fuel Low mileage

First thing I would do is check to see if there are any diagostic codes in the computer that would indicate a problem with a sensor.

Codes would likely make a light come on. Do you have any lights that have come on and gone out or staying on?

Re: Fuel Low mileage

I have heard that not all codes make the CEL light come on. Do you know differently, C-DUBYA? I don't know for sure.

Too many models for me to keep up with...

Actually, 12.5 mpg would be around normal for pure city driving in heavy traffic.

If there are no codes, check the ignition timing and clean your injectors.
