imupabove Posted January 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Has this just been ongoing, or has it just started in this cold? Vehicles consume more fuel when it is cold. The air is denser and the engine requires more gas. I have noticed that my mileage is SUCK right now.Do check all that stuff that Cubs_Fan said too. Those are the first things to check. or i was thinking my gas meter is off. because sometimes it goes down and when im parked and leave my car in a lot or something it goes back up.

cubs_fan0718 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 (edited) or i was thinking my gas meter is off. because sometimes it goes down and when im parked and leave my car in a lot or something it goes back up. my chevy would bounce around to and it would settle high than what it read when driving around, its like a bad floter or along them lines but the same thing went on in my ride it would read low 1 second then it would be up higher (where it was truefully supposed to be) then it would drop down especially when i stoped at stop signs. i really only noticed this when i was like 3/4 full to 1/2 full it would drop at stop signs then go back up when i accelerated (where it was supposed to be).

OrionStang Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Cubs fan list is good, but you forgot fuel filter. If that bish is clogged, you gotta put your foot down a little more to get going. You would think that would keep more gas in the tank..lol.

Watch the bass Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 (edited) does anyone know what are the symptoms of loosing gasoline fast? i feel like my gas is getting eaten fast :\. thanks. Be true, u have a new heavyweight system in ur car. Thats the reason. If i reduced 200 punds of weight my car uses 1/2 a gallon less threw the 100 mls.
