Gas Mileage question
My gas mileage has gone to hell. When I bought the car in Febraury, I use to get about 290 per tank and now I am barely getting 200. I havent changed my driving style. Its time for the car to be serviced. Can someone tell me if the car comes with a fuel filter or something that needs to be changed cause right now gas is too expensive.

Certainly driving style and habits have much to do with gas mileage, but it sounds like you've not changed those much since new.
If the air filter or air inlet passages are plugged, it would kill G/M too. No inline gas filter, but there is one in the tank. Unless you've been running dirty gas, it's not likely that's the culprit.
Talk to the dealer about your concerns. He can do an analysis and even reprogram/update the ECU for better results.

thanks for the replies
Cayman Islands is flat, flat, flat. no hills at all. Its a small island so basically i do the equivalent of city driving. I bought the car second hand with 27k. I am up to 31k now. Its time for an oil change so i figured that i might aswell get it serviced. Maybe the air filter is all clogged up. Should i try an fuel injector cleaner?
