there are 2 ping /knock sensors, that may give a fuel economy issue if they go off key..

not sure if its a left and right deal though?

[Mad-Machine]

if nothing else, pull the plugs and take a look

Do in interpret this as it will not coast very long in neutral? Sounds to me like dragging brakes. Remove calipers, push pads/pistons back into bore and reseat pads. If no fixie, continue diagnosis from there, check damaged brake lines etc.

I think it is safe to rule out anything fuel guage related, as it accepted 13gal of fuel.

Haha problem solved. I switched gas stations last week. My MPG is now back to normal. And just to celebrate, I filled up my tank with 93 octane, instead of 89

Memo: Never use the gas at Diamond Shamrock, even though it's down the street.

Weird!

Do you think their pump is calibrated wrong or are they selling 100% ethanol?

[tiFreak]

might just be cheap gas
