Gas MPG fenomina

Guys it has been a while since I have post, I hit 24,000 the other day(7 1/2 months) an interesting thing has occured. In the last 2 tanks of gas my mileage has jumped to 24.5 mpg, were as up until then she has always gotten 21-22 mpg. The only real change is the weather has been hot and the A/C has been running, but it seems like this would do the oppositte to my MPG. Any thoughts????? And my baby seems to be doing fine, I think I will need new rubber before to long(mid-fall 35-40K) any suggestions on a strong performing tire that is cost effective, quiet and wear well(yes it is alot to ask), but as you can see with mileage I need new sneakers often. Thanks in advance guys.

Did you switch octanes or gas stations? Some gas stations might pull a fast one on you and give you "premium" but you don't actually get it. Maybe new gas = better MPG?

top gear tested that having the A/C on and windows up will yield to better MPG because of the drag especially at highway speeds. So i wouldn't be surprised if it happened to me.

One word for you: BG 44K, use it and your MPG will improve... My G35 was getting around 290miles/tank, after using BG 44K getting like 350miles/tank.
