Re: Gas Mileage Drop (hcsem)

Just a quick update.I'm still keeping gas receipts. I was in Wisconsin last week, and did see a slight improvement to around 29 mpg. Now that I'm back in Minnesota it's right back where it was before.I got a "thank you" letter the other day from the dealer that looked at my Vibe and conclu...

Re: Gas Mileage Drop (hcsem)

Thanks for the responses so far.Anyone have any idea when they would have switched the fuel mixture around Minnesota? Somehow I think that happens in October, but I'm not certain on that.I jump stations, but generally it's a 66 station or a BP/Amoco.Performance wise, things seem unchanged. 80mph @ 3...

Gas Mileage Drop

Re: WI Dealer Recommendations? (Geo)

Just returned from Stark(Sun Prairie) actually, and started the whole purchasing process. So I'm on the way to becoming a Vibe owner. I'm looking forward to giving up my 2001 Jetta, that has defied everything I ever heard about VW. It has been nothing but trouble, mechanically and dealing with VW Se...
