It seems the MPG and the MPH "seem flaky" at times. More the MPH than the MPG. My MPH seems to be hovering around 30 MPH. Granted I am doing mainly city driving but it seems like it is unexpectedly low. This last time I reset the trip OD for this last fill up it was at 27.8. Now I just went out driving after refill and doing @ 40-50 MPH on city rd. and it is sitting at 28.7 but that was only after 11 miles. I really need to get out on the hwy and reset the OD and see it will increase to @ whatever speed I am doing. Then the MPG, that seems more dependent on whether I am in and out of the accelerator much. After I filled up this last time it was sitting in the 60s until as I said I am in and out of the accelerator much. Now it is sitting @ 36 MPG after 11 miles. IDK lots of driving around Cincinnati even on the hwy requires lots of stop and go. I may take it on a nice long drive up to Dayton and back to see how it reacts esp if I am not in and out of the gas much. I may be a little premature on the observation but it just doesn't seem right. Any ideas?
FYI I started using 93 octane again and I am seeing the MPG creeping back up which I was wondering if I had some other problem going on like my initial brake problem that I resolved @ 20000 miles ago. Where my brakes were always "on".
