losing Gas Mileage.... Questionn
within the past month, it seems my mpg has done nothing but go down. wen i was takin the highway to work everyday i think i had the mpg up near like 28mpg,, but now its like at 23.9mpg, and idk if its maybe cuz of the way i drive or maybe MAF sensor i questioned. i have CAI. i do drive like crazy around the city, but would it really cause my gas mileage to drop and still keep goin down...

i get 24city, 27 hghway, i cant figure it out though, i used to get 30+city 36 hghway, now it all went to ****, i blame all my bolt ons, lol...i dont drive fast either the highest i ever shift is at 25k...i tried to figure out where my fuel efficiency was going, i changed spark plugs, change fuel filter, changed oil, cleaned fuel system with some lucas, ran some seafoam, still getting shitty mileage, so in the end the nly thing diffrent was the bolt ons, lol

go in your dic control next to the steering wheel on the dash and scroll through the specs till you see mpg, then hold in the button on the right that looks like a return key on a keyboard. same thing as resetting the trip mileage calculator

though it's not 100% spot on perfect, i've found it to be close enough.

It actually does reset the oil life, but you have to have the key in and turned on but not started, then go into dic and find oil life reset then hold both buttons in and it will say acknowledged

I had the same problem with mine. I was down to averaging 26 on city/highway combined and I took off the whole air intake system, cleaned all of it, cleaned the throttle body, put in a new air filter even though the old one wasn't dirty, and boom I'm back up to 32 on combined.
