Anyway, in the beginning it was getting 53.8 miles MPG but then it suddenly dropped to 39 and has only slowly crept up to 41.1. The tank is almost over. The same thing happened on my first tank. I've learned to use little accel on hills usually gives good MPG on the feedback bars (whatever their called) and that down hill it maxes the MPG bars but in the end, I feel like I should be getting at least 48, since during the 28 mile commute, almost the entire time the MPG bars look like they hover around 55-60.

Is this normal or does the car still need to "break-in"?


Thanks,
Shawn
