I've recently noticed that my fuel efficiency has drastically dropped in my 99 Montero 3.5l. I've noticed the difference for a couple weeks now, but it may have been going on longer than that, as I don't really keep a very close eye on my fuel economy.
Work recently done by shop:
I tend to be a pretty aggressive driver so I don't expect to get Prius numbers, but on my last tank I calculated getting 7.5mpg. :yikes: This is while driving solely to and from work about 4.5 miles each way. Last time I checked I wasn't towing any 40' yachts behind me... I've also noticed when I fill the tank from almost empty it usually only takes about 18.5 gal which is nowhere near the 24.3 capacity. Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing the horrendous mileage issue and tank capacity discrepancy???
Thanks!
