Your torque converter may be having issues, decreasing your mileage. Check your transmission fluid and do a tune up.

I was going to school in the US for a while and filling up at the border, since I finished school and started filling up in Canada again I've lost close to 100 Km/60 Miles per tank...

I've tried different gas stations thinking maybe that was it but still not as great of mileage





So minus 100 km/ 60 miles off of those pics

Thats my thought, maybe the gas in canada differs from our gas? And i have to think, with your speedo in MPH mode, that essentially means it'll go up to 220mph?

On winter blend fuel I was getting like 21mpg average in my monte with 166k miles on it (engine rebuilt at 148k)

It appears theyve switched to summer blend now, I'm getting 26mpg average (these #s are combined city/hwy driving).

I lose my torque converter lockup, too, almost constantly once i reach 68-70mph or higher, and normally I try to tun about 73 on the highway.
