Friends: 0 | Re: Bad mileage, bad gas, car computer adjusted?? no.. I am saying that during that "bad tank" it seemed like something changed on the last part of it and the next fill up. I was getting booming mpg.. .. after the bad tank I am getting like 61 mpg trips.. where as before the "bad tank" I never got that much mpg according to the MFD. I was saying that the weather was 80-90's with the ac on before and after the "bad tank" |
