Ok, called the dealer again today and talked to the Service Dept.

They said to fill up the tank and bring it in. Theyll take the car out for a spin and put on about 30 miles then fill it up again and test things out. I asked if they have any idea what is wrong with it and got "No" for an answer. I dont have time to make an appointment until later next week so Ill have to keep updating the thread. Stay tuned

 

Have THEM fill it up, they DO have a pump there, dont they?

 

Wont they charge for it? I read that they charge a gnarly amount for gas.

 

Since they are testing a problem, they should suck up the cost for the "test" gas. Just my opinion..

 

I see. good point. Thanks bro

 

........

 

damn!and i'm getting pissed cause i'm not getting the so called 19/25 05'6mt.getting about 17.5 mix pushing here and there but nothing extreme just yet.just now reached 2k.shifting @ 3000.so....i'd def.take the 'g'back to your dealer and if they can't find a problem tell them to replace the damn engine!

 

Ok. Just finished another tank of gas. This time around I got 14.33MPG with shifts at 3000RPM and about 30 miles of hard, hard driving. I called and made an appointment just now for next Monday to have my oil changed, check my gas mileage and also fix my gas tank(I cant get any gas pump nozzles to hold I have to stand there and hold it myself.). Ill keep it updated. Stay tuned

 

Ok, got my car back from the dealer on Tuesday. They claim that everything is fine and that for the first 3000 miles, the car is still being broken in and gas mileage will only get better. We'll see.

 

It better get better! haha

 

Youre right it better or Im gonna be pissed. Ive all ready put about 700 bucks of gas in my car and Ive only got 2450 miles.

~$2.96 per gallon X 15.5 gallons per fill-up on average = $45.88 per tank of gas
~15 tanks of gas X $45.88 per tank of gas = $688.20 spent on gas so far.
2450 miles/15 tanks of gas = 163.33 miles per tank on average.
2450 miles/163.33 miles per tank = ~15 miles per gallon on average.
But..
163.33 miles per tank/15.5 gallons of gas per tank = 10.53 miles per gallon per tank of gas.

The numbers aren't terrible I suppose..until you get to the numbers based on "per tank".

We'll see how it goes from now on. Ive still got about 500 miles till I hit 3000 miles so it better improve, and fast!

 

Something is wrong.. I have 2500 and I get (according to my history on the NAV and when I monitor it on trips) 21-25 MPG (alot of these miles are highway too)

 

Hmm, well the thing is only, at most, 450 of those miles are on the highway and thats high. The rest is stop and go city driving. But 10MPG?!

 

exterme....i think our driving conditions are almost identical as i hardly do any highway drivingn too. i'm stop and go. i did that shifting under 3k for a while ti saved me about 3mpg (according to nav), so that's about 17-18MPG but now it's back to 14.3 MPG and stuck there. oh well...i'm just over 1100km so i'll wait and see. u are almost hitting the 3000miles....i'd say take it in again if it still doesn't improve. 10mpg...even a new car...somkething is up. did nav report that or??

 

I dont have nav. Dont feel its necessary to have it. I know my way around and its just another thing to go wrong. I will admit its pretty sweet and nice, maybe for my next car. I calculated it. I took how many miles I had on my trip odometer and divided them by how many gallons it took to fill up. Ill report back after this tank but so far its looking bad. 60 miles at 3/4 of a tank. Of course, I have been almost-redlining it since I filled up...oops
