2000 EX V6 Low Mileage
I used to get 25 mpg in city driving, and 30 mpg on the highway.
Suddenly the mileage went down to 18 in city driving. I tried fuel injector cleaner but that did not help. Any ideas would be appreciated. |
Re: 2000 EX V6 Low Mileage
I assume the car is still running "seemingly" well still. If its running
well still, my guess it is an external change. -- In the cold weather, have you been letting the car sit and idle to warm? -- When the car is cold, do you drive it hard? -- Any other changes to your driving pattern? -- new gas station? -- Are the tires inflated to the correct pressure? -- Do you keep going to the exact same gas pump? Some pumps "click-off" sooner than others. Which would lead you to believe that the tank is at its normal capacity, when it is really less a gallon.
