its not me, I am actually extremely easy on the pedal..I only go about 5 miles to work (probably more like 3) and I don't go over 35 mph and it is stop and go a lot(a lot of stop signs) I get about 17-19 on highway though and when doing 45 I am getting about 13-14

yeah lol, I took it for a 83 mile drive around the city interstates last night lol, already have made this tank last longer than the last one. And I needed to burn off some condensation in my engine, no more signs of condensation on my oil cap! It actually works...
