^^ ya maybe i need a tune up, what would be changed? i dont want to go to the dealer and ask them for a tune up because i know they will give me a ridicilous price. i live in toronto so most my driving is in the city, that might be a reason too.

I don't live in Toronto, but people really rave good things about Vic Simones Performance in Newmarket. I would consider going to him and tell him why you are there.
Perhaps others that live in your area have a suggestion where to go.

I agree that your mileage will suck if most of your driving is city. You should check it on a highway trip sometime.

A couple of considerations...
Do you know if the MAF has ever been serviced/replaced.
It's the main input to the CPU that sets the fuel maps (lean/rich)

also, have the fuel injectors ever been cleaned?

I get between 350 and 400 per tank, usually filling before the warning comes on. '07x on premium. Calculated consumption around 14.5l/100km in-town, not really stop-and-go either. OTOH, at 12,000km/year it really doesn't matter that much.

500ish with no problem, and I have the issue where the tank doesn't fill up all the way.

You can look at the owners manual it tells you what they items theychange/service for the service interval at your kms. A few things that directly affect fuel economy are the air filter and spark plugs if that does not help you may have to look into replacing the MAF or you may have other issues.

Yes, mine will run 31+ if I'm driving even half sensible. My best on that trip was 31.75 I can't recall if we got calculations from Brian on his AT Coupe.
