Thats really low!!! What I would expect from a cammed car and a heavy foot. How many miles have you driven since the reset? Did you think your mileage was bad prior to the reset?

I reset it after every fill up... And I noticed gas going quickly so I went to mpg and it said 7.8 it normally says about 12.8 - 13.5

I wonder if you need a new air filter cleaner??? Check you tire pressure and gas it up and re-test and see what happens. Otherwise a trip to the dealership is in order. Mail Clerk |

Last time I saw something like this, it was a misfire.
I see you have a tune, so maybe the dealer is not your best option. |

I would check wires and plugs first. I see you have headers so you might just be melting a spark plug wire.

Ran into a similar issue with my V6. Nothing seemed wrong (drive-wise), but my mileage was getting horrible. After a while, I finally got a CEL (still no change in the way the car was operating). Took it to the dealer & it turned out that the Evap Solenoid was stuck in the open position.

I thought the fuse pull went out the window when the car has a tune in it...

The fuse pull is a complete myth, but my opinion is in the minority.
