Unfortunately for everyone, each state can do an amazing number of things with the fuel to mess you up.
Odd about the lower MPGs. I had checked them out before I purchased it, and I could swear the numbers were closer to the MPG's printed on the vehicle sticker (18 city, 25 highway). I've been peeved with 21-23, since I usually get 3-5 mpg better than sticker MPG. Sadly ironic if the numbers you entered were more accurate LOL
I doubt my MPG will increase, though. I've heard rumors they're going to be increasing the alchahol ratio, which will not only not increase MPG, will contribute to more damage to engine components - double
I will update it May/June my averages.
From what y'all have said here, and depending on what others say when I post in the main group, it looks like I'll have to get the groove removed. With 0% improvement, it comes down to the whistle. I can't drive with the window down - sounds like a piece of metal scraping on metal. With the windows up, only my teeth hurt.
Thanks for all the info!
