I've never gotten over 50mpg, the norm for me is around 45.
Of late, with no significant changes other than weather, it seems I'm getting 38-39. I don't check that often, I just do a quick mental calculation while filling and if it's above 43 I don't think much about it. What are some reasons for a noticeable difference? I keep the tires inflated at 36/42. The valves were checked once at 14k miles, in spec, at which time the spark plugs were replaced. Currently it has 31k. Starting is normal. I don't detect any drag on brakes. Thoughts?
