Dude, do a search before posting. We already have a very lengthy thread about this going on. Did you fix that other thread with all the pictures? We may have to give you a time out here.

Also, never go by your overhead console. It is never accurate. The only way to actually calculate gas mileage is by using good hard numbers, miles driven divided by gallons put into the tank.
