Some weeks I can drive 4 days a tank. My odometer doesn't work. Other weeks I can drive 8 days on a tank. My mileage per week does not vary that much.
Things I am considering that may affect it: - Electrical; the lights have been off more sense spring is here. - Maybe the fuel injection works better with the correct amount of juice? - Maybe the alternator is causing more drag? - Cold weather is going away. - Some other lurking variable? Does anybody else have this problem? |

faulty head temp sensor can give poor mileage also. sounds kind of extreme, 4 days driving verses 8, 2:1 ratio!
About how many miles driven per day? figure a 15 gallon tank, and you dhould be able to get a mileage reading. |
