I average about 450-510 KM per tank (full to just under 1/4 tank) in the winter. I also warm my car up before going home for lunch... and have mods that don't exactly aid in fuel mileage. Add a heavy accel foot to the mix.

hmm....why does my mileage suck then.....i am not that heavy footed, the car is all stock, had air filter replaced, getting more or less the same mileage off different gas stations....dunno.i wonder if it is related to the new PCM i got last year (to fix the heat soak problem)

Where are you getting gas.Are you due for an oil change.

i am using the station at keele and bloor, i believe it's Petro Canada. however, sometimes i use other stations (randomly). like last week i drove to new york city and back, but no particular change in mileage other than perhaps a very minor improvement due to it being 100% highway (however i must admit i was doing 120+ most of the way).no, i am not due for oil change for at least another thousand yet.
