Help really bad gas mileage
Whats up fellas. For some reason I am getting really bad gas mileage on my X. I've had the car for 5 years now and only 27k miles on her. I get an average of 100 miles a tank. This has been happening for the pass 3-4 weeks. The car only drives locally now alot of stop and go with lights and stop sign. At first I thought it was my wife but I have been driving it and still the same. The car is back to stock hight and stock exhaust. Any advice.

Man, I thought I got bad MPG sometimes with spirited driving. Is it that bad? If so I would get that looked at. Premium adds up

^ the tank not filling up all the way is only refering to the last 1/4. We have 18.5 or 20 gal tanks... worst case you only get 10 gals in. 100 miles at 10 gals is 10MPG. for someone not WOT and etc and trying to get good MPG that is insane.
when was the last time your car was aligned and had stock wheels on it.
something would be wrong. A free cheap way before going to the dealership and spend the money is check for CEL yourself. if none is present then yea by all means send the car to the dealership or some shop to have it looked at. worst i ever did was like 220 miles and that was the first couple months i had it and i went crazy WOT now i get 300 or so and thats when the light comes on.
These cars aren't going to MPG king but they should be in the upper teens.
