Full synthetic Oil changes at 3000 miles, Continental DWS tires and tires at 38-40 psi and I was able to get 26.69 mpg on the highway. And city I get 20ish with a bit of a heavy foot, and currently 91k miles on her. Do u stomp on it often? Check ur tire pressure regularly?

My gas burn quick too, 2 weeks per tank. LOL

unless you are talking about MPG. I've been getting 19mpg lately. Could be the *** gov with it 15% ethanol.... or could be I've been driving a lot in city.

Maybe it could be seized calipers? I didn't realize but I had seized calipers in the rear and my mileage improved by about 1-2 L/100 km (approximately 2-3 MPG improvement). Just a thought.

Never thought of this but its a possibility? Now that I think of it, when I did my break job on the rears noticed my disc were always so so hot. And the calipers were seized as well. Didn't think of its effecting anything else? Before, I did used to get 25 for my tops on highway driving.
