have you tried just going on a weekend cruise for a constiderable distance to see what it got then?

it gets great on the hwy normally around 30, but I am rarely on the hwy all my driving is in town.

all i can think is maybe stop and go driving like Nick said earlier. if it's getting what it should on hwy, then I wouldn't think it would be an injector problem.

Don't waste your money again. At 2000 miles there isn't any great build up in your fuel injectors or combustion chambers to be causing any problem. You dealer is a crook for selling you an "induction cleaning" on an '11 @ 2000 miles.

The increase in mileage after doing something is all in your head. After you do something, you expect a result - so you drive a little different. Effect - better mileage. After a while, back to the old driving habits - back to less mileage.

All you ever take is short trips. It will never get good mileage. Crank up the radio and enjoy the car. You're on a wild goose chase checking the mileage on every drive.

New cars go very rich on every cold start to light off the converters quickly. If all you ever do is one short trip after another, the mileage will be horrible. Keep in mind, computers adapt to driving. Yours has adapted to nothing but short trips = horrible mileage. If you took it on some highway trips, mileage would improve.

The ECM over time self adjusts it's fuel trims, to maintain optimum AFR and adapting to your driving style. Someone that takes a new car on long highway trips will comment that the mileage has really improved since it has broken in. Yes, and the ECM has adapted to that persons driving style, fuel octane being used.... Take that same car and do nothing but short trips from day one = the mileage will suck ass.

LET IT GO.
