2006/44Kmiles - milage getting worse - why?

rogersboyz · 09-01-2008, 01:47 PM

My 2006 with 44K miles used to get 45 mpg. About six months ago, it dropped to 33~38, no matter how lightly I tread on the gas pedal. All service done by the dealer, and nothing tricky done to any of the powertrain systems. Any ideas? Is this a normal occurance due to battery age? Is there any test to see if I have a typical problem? HELP - gas is expensive! Thanks for any help. Jeff

This is your SECOND post, and it's already a repeat. Please don't REPOST the same thing over and over, or we will think you a bot or a troll.
