I bought my Element new in 2011. It's only got 95k miles on it, but I'm getting crazy low gas mileage 12-14MPG. I've recently had an oil change with air filter replaced, the spark plugs replaced, all new tires (same size), rear strut assemblies, put fuel injector cleaner in it, still crappy gas...

Hi, I used to have my lovely automatic 2004 EX 2WD, which was getting at least 20MPG pretty much constantly, regardless of my driving habits or environment (city/highway). On long flat highway trips I managed to push it as far as 30MPG. Unfortunately the E fell victim of an idiot, who lost the...

Does any one fill with 92 octane? Will this be bad for the engine? Or will it be good? Thanks.

Just bought my wife a 2009 Element DX 4wd 5 speed automatic. First fillup was 22 mpg with totally in-town driving. Based on some of the threads posted here --I was a little worried --- buy hey my wife loves the car so much it did not really matter.

Has anyone thought of adding a 5-10gallon auxiliary fuel cell? Stock is 15.9 gallows and at an avg of 22mpg = 350miles now add 5 and 10 extra gallons will bring that to 460-570miles per tank. Of course this would be higher will ALL highway driving and could go up too over 600per tank. Just...

Hi all! I'm a first timer so apologies if I haven't posted this in the right section. I've just moved to Denver from London, England and have been in love with the Element for years. Since we don't get much snow in London, but we do in Colorado I've been reading up about the whole FWD v AWD...
