So here is my RoadTrip App for the past 3 years, steady decline with ever increasing swings ...
Weather? No, it's never been milder here in the UK.
MODs, maybe a wee bit, but nothing Major.
Thoughts please :-)

7.8 mpg would only be reasonable if you were driving very aggressively (slamming the gas pedal to the floor all the time).

My car (bolt ons + tune, + 3200 stall converter) gets 14 mpg going back and forth to work (lots of stopping at red lights) with a heavy right foot.

If I drove conservatively, I could probably get 16 mpg in the city, but I didn't buy a Camaro SS to drive conservatively.

My car gets around 21-22 mpg on the highway doing 80 mph.

I have noticed the same with my 2014 Camaro 2SS, as soon I filled it up, it shows an estimate as 323 after 5-10 miles it goes down to 290 Miles. And I have observed my tire pressure fluctuating a lot recently. I just had 780 miles and been driving very carefully until the first Oil change. My RPM never goes above 2-2.5. Any suggestions/?
