Difference in gas mileage
I've been doing almost all local driving lately and noticed my gas mileage is sometimes as low as 19 mpg. I was starting to think something is wrong. Did a road trip yesterday, came back today, and average 30 mpg for the trip. That seems like a huge difference.

Stop and go city traffic is ugly. Put a ScanGuage11 on and see what's happening.
Those 3 to 5 mile trips get you 17 to 19mpg, maybe 20 if you time the lights. Short little trips just kill the fuel economy. Could see no difference running the a/c or not using the ScanGuage.
The nice freeway drive at 70mph for 20 some miles will crank out 30 to 31mpg.

In the UK ive noticed my fuel economy go down to about 20 mpg in the last 2 months..... but could that be due to using the air con constantly now ???
Previously I could crank about 28 a gallon out of her.....
Also had engine running while i was on the fone for an hour the other day.... that gobbles the fuel !!!
