i know its been really hot and humid here this week and i used the a/c almost all of the time but i dropped 5mpg from my last tank. i even filled up at the same station the same pump-i think i must have driven differently this tank but i try to drive conservatively-i wanna hit 40mpg!!!!

In the absence of more details, I would like to think that most likely the one time low number is not your fault. It is actually not too low. Too many factors can affect the outcome of one tank. Please keep a long term record and look at the average numbers. You will be more pleased by that.

ok, here are the numbers from my next fillup-332.1 miles on 9.375 gallons of gas=35.424mpg. really drove conservatively-used the a/c very sparingly. this is suburban driving southside of chicago. typical lots of stop lights-a variety of speeds-no expressway driving. i can not see a way to ever get to 40mpg unless i throw out my rear seat-spare tire and lose my once in awhile passenger and lots of weight myself.
