I know this topic comes up a lot on here, and I apologize for bringing it up again. I recently unplugged my SID to confirm I ruined the ribbon last time I ironed it before ordering a new one. Upon plugging it back in (this is the old one, I haven't gotten the new(er) one yet), I can't get my car to read more than 14.5 MPG driving around town!! I've got a lead foot usually but I am driving like an 87 year old woman trying to get good mileage!! $78 fill-ups are killing me! Any ideas why I can't squeak some more MPG's outta this car? And yes, I've checked all the obvious- plugs, tire pressure, etc...
