thats not bad so what makes you think the engine is dying?

 

Good things usually start happening right before something really bad happens.And that would just be my luck....

 

that's the problem with being a mechanic your waiting for something to go wrong I call it a curse ( the more you know the guarantee it will cost mega ) simply because your looking for problems instead of enjoying the drive

 

Damn! I seriously think something might be wrong with my car if what your saying is true. I'm getting about 300 miles to my tank and i'm never really taking off or hitting the high RPM'S. Then again i'm doing mostly city driving, are you doing mostly highway???

 

Most of my driving is city and I'm getting 31mpg right now

 

Well, that does make me feel a little better. I did have to use a different pump (same filling station), I wonder if the backpressure switch in the pump shut it off early? But my gas gauge was still reading 1/4 tank so I doubt that was the problem. Guess I should just enjoy the savings and keep rubbing it my families face (who all shunned me because I bought a "luxury" car- said it wouldn'tbe good on gas- HA!)

And yes, I do quite a bit of highway driving.I use my Jeep for around town and short trips cause my milage is bad in that no matter where I drive it.

 

thats rediculous, driving normal i get about 16-18 in the city, if i put my audi in trip and shift at low rpms i get about 21-22. Then again its chipped, sport mode ive seen the mpg go into single digits

 

You doing anything special? I assume a VERY light foot.....have you done anything to your car that would help mpg or something?

 

In conservatice mode I get about 27mpg, but I'm usually always floring it and braking loose around every corner.

 

Just K&N, no mid muffler, all fluids replaced with Red Line (except the power steering,) tire pressure at 40psi with no junk in the car, and I shift at about 2500rpm. I'm in 5th gear when I'm going 35, and I drive smooth and steady.
