I'm scratching my head these days. Last 2 tanks my mileage seems to have decreased from the 42/44mpg to 37/38mpg. No change in riding style really. Only thing that has changed is our weather temps have gotten colder. Otherwise....stumped. 2014 model/6speed.

No clue. I can't get less than 62 mpg, despite trying.

Just a stab in the dark, but refineries do change the make up of their gasoline from summer blend to winter blend this time of year. Could that make a slight difference?

I get an average of 43,45 mpg. I did get less mpg when I had to use cheap gas recently.

I think crutch nailed it, though the change seems dramatic.

Think of cheap fuel of poor quality as the instant dinner its food but of low quality that does not look as displayed on the box.

I do wonder who the 573 guests that are on the forum reading in anonymity ?

Have you recently changed from 100% gas to ethanol-laced gas?
