Default RE: Improve Miles per gallon?

We have a bunch of gas stations close to work and they price war each other. I went through 4 or 5 tanks of no name brand before I realized I was filling up more than normal. I checked my mileage and sure enough instead of my normal 25 mpg to work I was getting 22 mpg. My wifes Chrysler Sebring was worse going from 25 mpg to 21 mpg.

I get around 24.5 - 26 MPG's in town driving depending on the weight of my foot.


I did a test a while back where I drove the speed limit, tried not to go over 3K RPM's and got 29 MPG.


What is my average mpgs??? Well I don't know. What is average for you guys?
I think the most was 312 for me, on my trip.
Wow, that is bad for a 2000-2006!!! What year Monte is it?


You may have the beginnings of a CAT or sensor failure.
It a 03, with 79,000miles

question, if you guys set your trip. From full tank of gas. what what would it read, when it time to refill?

LOL.......... I don't know about anyone else, but I have not filled up my tank for quite some time. But I can tell you that I have manually calculated my mileage and it's pretty close to the puters average MPG's. Your getting somewhere around 20.8 MPG if you say you got 312 miles on a full tank... Your estimated miles till empty may be a little off and I would not go by that to judge your fuel efficiency. Manually calculated it for the next few fill ups...
