Thread: New To site Hello ( Need Help )

Hello Im new here. Last spring I bought My Wife a 2000 G P GTP 4 Door. I was amazed at the gas milage 22 to 25 in the city N 29 to 32 Highway. just in the last 3 weeks my milage has gotten bad varry bad 18.5MPG That is on the high end What to do?
Thank
Robert

Welcome.

I'm new, too. 22-25mpg in the city? Woah. I think I average 19.1?

Welcome. I would check the catalytic converter. I am averaging about 400kms on 47 liters. My fuel gauge doesn't work so I'm just filling it at about 400. It is about -30 degrees celsius here with the windchill (about -15c without).

Mmhmm that's about what I get. OP is in Illinois (hey, let's grab coffee sometime!) and we use real units of measurement here, though. *tease*

He could just have a lead foot, though. I've found I like to "check if my boost gauge works" more often than I should.

@OP: Do you put premium or regular in it?

I forgot to add that I don't have a light foot when it comes to taking off. I know some imperial measurements, but I was taught metric that is why I use it. I know a gallon is about 3.8 liters, a quarter mile is approx 400 meters, etc.

Thanks I will check the Converter. My Wife drives the car more than I do. Because Of a vary HEAVY FOOT. I was Clocked at 102MPH in a 55 on Christmas EVE.

Also because metric makes more sense

Thanks. haha. I totally agree.

a decimal off? meaning 10 instead of 100? if you don't notice that you shouldn't be doing calculations.

Thought this was relevant...

Just did 150mi on the freeway last night with 92 octane in my GTP. Did a little over 30mpg.
