Anyone else been getting less miles per gallon/km per liter?
 

I've been finding lately that my gas tank just isn't getting me as far as it used to not so long ago.

I mentioned it to a few others and they said they've noticed the same.

I know gas prices are higher and that my wallet may just be casting that illusion, but seriously, I have to fill up more often lately.

I put on my tin foil hat and started to wonder if maybe they've started adding a little something to make the fuel burn faster. Seems a tad far fetched, but the more I hear from people who say their mileage is getting lower too... the more I start to really wonder.

I just got a new ride so switching from the expedition to a sedan made my it better

dude...you know what..i have been thinking the same thing as well

i used to put just 20 bucks in my tank at a time and id drive for about a week on it....now im filling up every week...granted i drive a bit more....but nothing like what i expected to burn

i would not put anything past the oil cartels

Hm, thats a new one to me. I only drive like 2 miles a week, so havent put in gas in well over a year.
Check tire pressures, clean air filters etc.. might be time for a tune up.

So strange you mention that. I have also noticed this. There is a conspiracy afoot

Nope havnt noticed it here, my trucks gets about 375 miles each time I fill it up

Dude, you just bought the friggin thing. It's probably still running on the paint's fumes and new car smell.

wow we were just talkin about this last night. are old car blew up so we bought a new one. Seems like we are spendin more on gas now with the new car then the 10 year old car :Oh crap

actaully my performance went up . . I figured since they can now charge anything they want for gas they stopped putting water in it :1orglaugh milage is the same

Not me, I am doubling my mileage now. Traded in my Xterra for an Altima three months ago and was getting 350km/tank and now I am getting 700km/tank.

The more u drive - the less exercise u get - the heaver u get - the more gaz u need :winkwink:

you guys are right: before on a full tank (forget about the price, let's talk volume here) we used to get about 390 miles. Now, it doesn't go over 340.
WTH?

Now that is *not* surprising. My car is 10 yrs old, and gets 40 MPG highway. To get that mileage out of a gasoline-only engine in a new car I dont think is possible. You have to go hybrid.
Everytime I see a car commercial (a billion times per day) I look for the MPG and they all suck.

Car Makers+Oil Companies=less efficient cars=we're screwed.

My infinity SUV cost more in gas then the hummer costed me a couple months ago ... that's crazy.

I always put MINIMUM 20 bucks a day in gas lately.

Its 7 month old already
