    Does anyone else have this happed at idle?

    I have been getting low MPT, 230miles taking it easy.

    Seeing people getting 20+ is killing me

    Not sure if I have an issue or not somewhere in my 01.

    Cheers

    tuned?

    My car doesn't seem to calculate fuel usage when sitting idle... just goes to -- I think... or sits at the previous # - every other car I had calculated it.

    But I got 370 miles on my last tank, so I'm not one to complain....

    How recently did you reset your average mileage? If you reset after each fill-up, then drive through town (stop-and-go), those times spent sitting still really bring down your average mileage.

    That is about what my stg 3 TIp gets out of a tank if I drve easy, for a 6speed car you should do better, when was the last time you changed your wirfilter or plugs they may be worn/cloged and may hurt your MPG , also in cooler weather your MPG will drop some because the car will run a lil rich untill it hits operating temp , that is what mone dose, good luck

    I'm at about 250 miles per tank too. I just replaced the O2s and my mileage didnt change.
