RE: gas mileage
great! how about how many decalitres to the hectare? mpg? miles per gallon please. wanting to know if my rough starts and slight miss are from water in gas or something more serious, noticed there was a slight increase since the temp dropped the last few weeks. put some heet in my tank and will see if that helps. thanks, Bill

Your car should trigger engine malfunction light under engine misfire conditions and mostly you get P0300 code

I wouldn't have believed it, but my dealer told me to use mid-grade gas instead of premium when temps drop much below 30f, and it works! Can't speak for any difference in mileage, other than the wasted fuel for a necessary warmup since I don't park itin my garage.

RE: gas mileage
HEY yanks.... you gotta put units to those figures.... remember that the rest of the world does not use the same system...
20-21-22-23-24 ... what are you talking about.. miles?.. gallons? Litres? US gallons?
and how do you measure that ? by the in car computer? or by the actual pump volume and the odometer distance?
the numers are kinda useless on their own.
My trip computer is waaaaaaay off from the actual distace driven and fuel used.

RE: gas mileage
Bo - my 06 doesn't have a trip computer. I calc my mileage the old-fashioned way - dividing the miles driven by the gallons of gas needed to fill her back up. I took the car on a business trip to Cleveland, Ohio, and she actually got 27.35 MPG (US) on the leg up. Coming back, I filled up with blended 92 octane gas near Cleveland, and, she got 25 MPG coming back.
