    Check your tire pressure, oil, spark plugs. Anything, my car has brand new oil oem specs on tires and i just tuned her up 5000mi ago.

    Also let your car warm up if you want better mpg thats why most people get better in summer the cars are nearly warm already. Technically your performance and I believe mpg should be better in cold.

    All though preformance may be better because of the colder dense air i do belive that because its cold and for that reason the air is more dense the car runs richer to compensate for the right air/ fuel mix, therefore uses more gas?

    ^^ i know, i still have the vibration problem so im not sure if its a vac leak or what... honestly i think the tech put on my balance belt wrong...because when it brok all he did was change the timing belt and replace the balance belt, but when he replaced the balance belt all he did was align the marks on the sprockets..he never checked the plug where your suppost to fit a screw driver into, so ill check that out. i just reached 100k like 2 days ago, last did a tune up around 65k so im going to do plugs and wires again next pay check...never done a fuel filter before tho...

    I hit over 200 between full and half haha then the light came on at 250 :)

    The highest I have done is 270 to half and 400 for the full tank as the light came on. That was before my CAI.

    vacuum leak, bad plugs, bad filter, needs oil change, your tire pressure isnt correct, you have high rolling resistance tires, heavy ass wheels. Any of those and a combination possibly can be hurting your gas mileage.

    I never keep track, I just fill, drive and when it gets close to empty, I fill again.

    Sounds like your car could use a tuned up. That is about 17.5 mpg give or take like .5 which isn't horrible, but some new spark plugs, wires, tire pressure check and the standard shit could probably bring it close t 20 which is where I am at all city driving, by city I mean towns, but yeah. Most fill ups I average 19-22 mpg when i do trips like to visit my girl in jersey, go to the city, or go to meets I usually get around 25-28 cruising at 65
