I know this has been covered but I can't find the thread. As I approached 5K miles my MPG got better & better. I was getting 51mpg regularly in city driving (I have ~ a 25-30 minute commute to work).
THEN....I had my 5K service. Oil change, tire rotation, etc. My dealer service tech said he knew what to do. I rechecked & changed tire pressure and checked oil level. It was overfilled so the dealer let some out w/o too much complaining.
But, my MPG has plummetted..... Went from 51 to 45, and that's the best I get!! It averages around 43. A 10MPG drop seems kind of extreme. Plus no matter how I drive I can't seem to get in "Stealth Mode". Everytime I touch the accelerator the ICE comes on.
Anything else I need to check?? Could the wrong grade of oil (e.g. [email protected]) cause this? Any ideas??
