Default Re: Acrid smell at high speed/RPM

Well, my major complaint really is fuel economy, I'm getting on average 19, ranges between 17, lowest, and 21 highest....(It's supposed to get 21 city, 28 highway) Maybe I should switch to Shell? I was going to send another thread on this issue. However, I do not believe the brand of fuel is the problem for this issue.

With respect to the first comment, I notice it with the windows closed, and usually when I'm accelerating and about a minute thereafter. It's been 4 months, and 6000 miles, so its gone through its breaking in period in my opinoin.
