Thread: How do you like my new ..........

Yup, can hardly wait till Memorial Day weekend when fuel takes it's usual summer jump!!!!!!! Think we'll be seeing $4.00/gallon everywhere then?????????

I'm not sure if it's the gas or the computer/engine that is dumping my milage. I'm coming up on the 90k service, so I think I'll have them run some diagnostics. About 6 months ago, they did a factory recall on the computer board. When they put the new one in the milage dropped as did the performance. I took it back, they checked it out, but said everything was ok. Milage went up on my vacation road trip, but not as good as in the past. So it could be anything including old age. The tires are fairly new Michelans so I don't think they are the cause(1 year old now).

could be the gas station you're filling up at has contaminated tanks.... i've had that happen and seen what its done to customers cars.... lots of valve train failure issues...... i would try filling up at a different station and see if your mileage goes up.... you could always try resetting your fuel trim if it is the computer.... disconnect your battery for a few minutes and recconect it.... if you had a nice scanner your could watch the numbers as your fuel trim recalculates.... age doesn't neccisarily have anything to do with it though... my 89 nissan has 160k miles on it and still runs strong.... just about needs a new clutch now but thats fine since its the original...
