Bad gas mileage getting worse! |
|
|
2004 Nissan Quest, advertised at 19city/26hwy. Now I know this is under
ideal conditions, but I think actual mileage should at least be close to
this. I was getting ~16mpg a month ago when I complained to the dealer, and
he said it's because of the cold weather.. and relatively, it's not that
cold here in Portland, OR (30's-40's). It has now plummeted to 14.5mpg. Is
there ANYTHING they can do to improve this, or at least check out??

....unless you take many short trips. The first 1-2 miles of each trip (when
the engine is cold) in cold weather can be very hard on gas mileage.
