Check engine light on? Any drive-ability problems besides the poor fuel mileage?

Yes - listen to DS. Just some added comments on fuel consumption complaints:


It's colder out - that matters. Take MPG not miles per tank ful so you have some accuracy not just a fuel gauge.


See if the fuel is different especially ethanol %. More = less mile or MPG - always!


Any changes in driving habits as well.


Again, convert to real MPG not how far you go is my suggestion if nothing else is wrong but just this and continue to pay attention and fix or find out why if real,
