Default Re: Suddenly, better mileage. . . but I don't know why!
I just had my first oil change and recall done too- at 5500 miles.
my mileage is noticabley better also. I think it's a combination of the car breaking in, and the oil change. I had been hovering in the low 50's (51, 52, 53, 52) for the last few tanks (lots of short trip suburban driving) and suddenly my last tank was 56 on the guage, 55.2 calculated. The car also seems to be easier to coast/cruise above 60mpg at 80mpg. I don't think it's the gas.
yeehah. this is fun!
