What's the avg. mpg?
#3
Have you checked your foot?
Umm..well...we're not psychic! Tell us some stats!
Last tuneup (plugs, wires, oxygen sensor, pcv valve, air filter, etc)
Amt of city/hwy driving
Normal tire pressure
Normal alignment
type of oil used
and any other information that you think might be useful.

Well the only thing I've done to the engine in put in a FWI and that usually should imrove your gas mileage by a small margin.
I've been taking it easy on the gas since the summer because I wanted to see what I could actually get for mpg.
But what'* weird is that it was like 17.5-18 in the summer.
And it'* pretty much all city driving, which I know would have an effect but still...

depends on the city, if its constant stop and go, yes 16-18 is normal with any bonneville.
More curious about the strictly highway as that is a better indicator.

Remember to check the air in your tires too... mine were all low by 2-3 lbs...instant increase in mileage by 2 mpg!

Well mileage is a bit under 100000.
I got it around 87000 ish.
But I thought it was supposed to get like 20 mpg at least but if that'* how it'* supposed to be then I guess I'm ok
