I've been getting between 22 and 24mpg pretty consistently lately with this vehicle. I am doing 90+% city driving. I am regular with oil changes and the tires are inflated properly and only about 10,000 miles old. The car has about 55k miles on it.

I've tried going to different fuel stations, always use regular fuel. I am very conscious about conserving momentum.

The one thing I can think of is that I am running the AC a bit lately (95+ here in Alabama!!).

Does running the AC on full vs. the lowest setting make a difference or does it use the same amount regardless as long as it is operating?

I love this site! Thanks so much for reading!
