Ack i know the feeling!Ive been closely watching the mpgs the last couple fill ups. My last fill up on Thursday with Chevron 91 was $85, and ive been doing my best to keep my foot off the gas. ITS PAINFUL TO DRIVE LIKE THIS!!! I got the calculator out and figured i averaged 25.7, the SID said 25.. I reset the SID and drove about 13 miles home to avoid L.A traffic on the freeway. It was moderate stop and go, and climbed a long hill, averaged 19.5mpg.. Since that fill up ive done about 250miles of mostly highway average without reset now is about 25. Ive gone with just doing mostly city and its really never dipped below 17-19 according to the SID. I dunno what else to check, maybe fuel filter? Or maybe give Trionic a clear conscious by pulling the fuse and letting it re-learn?
best of luck
