The other day I noticed on my dash it said i was getting 18.1 MPG. (It usually says 18.7 or around there) Then I noticed it dropped down to 17.8 on Thursday. Now, Today it says I am getting 15.8.

Now when I last filled up (Thursday) i noticed my trip computer was also going crazy and saying I had drove 1,050 miles when I simply went down the street.

I am not sure if it is just the computer is just malfunction or I have suddenly lost 3 MPG's for some reason.

 

Might be the last tank of gas you got.
When you say it was going wacky was it just after resetting it?
If so the first mile the trip reads in feet till it hits one mile.

 

oh thats why, it looked like it was reading it in feet.

i asked someone and they said i may need to change my spark plugs. Could that be it?

 

Yes could very well be. If it has been a while since last tune up I would do it.

 

I think that the reading in feet would mess up your train of thought the first few times you saw it.

Hey Chef,

The Anvil is causing me a FRACKIN headache![:@]

Got a serious pull to the right when braking and I have all new components. Rotors, pads, calipers, flex lines and fluid. Axles are less than a year old, suspension is less than a year old.

Going in for an alignment on Friday, pay day of course, and the licence and registration are due then as well.[]

Rotating the tires today and going to pull some codes to maybe see whats up with a couple of other small issues (ABS and a intermittant stalling)

QUICK...for the pull, have you tried to maybe change your brake fluid and bleed out the brakes really well, might help?? as for the stalling i don't know what it can be...clogged fuel filter? don't know..g'luck?

Chef,

Done and done.

There has to be something Im missing.

In factthe entire front end is new in the last 11 months. Including tires.
