I'm the same way in the winter. Stop and Go kills your mileage. If you want good mileage in the city get a hybrid

Not accurate at all actually. It's one of those features that "catches your eye" for perspective buyers, but mine has only ever been within 4mpg at the closest. Easiest way to determine your MPG

Miles driven divided by how many gallons needed to fill up.

I.E. 239miles traveled /10.6 gallons = 22.54mpg. In my case, the DIC would say 18mpg

Nope, not spring yet. It just dropped like another 2 inches of snow between last night and today lol It prolly won't happen until march or possibly even april. All depends on when the cold weather breaks and stays gone

Maybe it means Silly Muffler....I'm sure it's something simple and I'm just missing it, but 2.2's and 2.4's aren't my league lol

This man speaks the truth. Oiled filters are terrible for MAF's, avoid them whenever possible. The new AEM Dryflows use no oil, filter better, and can be washed out with only soap and water.

Try this, spray out the TB with the TB cleaner and then add the correct amount of Lucas Fuel System Cleaner into the tank.

That should help.

My MPG dropped and then I used Lucas FSC and it went back up again.
I am getting 32MPG with the winter blend gasoline.

Use 87 octane...
