I've gotten 28-30 mpg with this car, driving in traffic it will drop to 25.
I log all my mileage: recently had one tank out of four that was back to 25 mpg, but am only getting 19-20 mpg now.
Also, fwiw, occasionally loads up and stalls at idle. Will always immediately restart and generally be fine. It has to sit for a minute before the idle speed drops and it ultimately stalls.
No engine light, starts and runs ok. Crappy power - I've been thinking that was probably a clogged catalytic converter.
I have been having cooling fan issues and the guage has been to the AL (NORMAL) range on the gauge.... at that point the high speed fan would finally kick in. I've since installed a toggle switch so I can run the fan manually... this summer in Philly, that means pretty much full time.
This car has been trouble free until the last 6 weeks. Since June 1st, I've been dealing with the heating fan, had to replace the alternator, and now this mpg problem really has me worried.
Suppose I dropped a valve seat?!?!
