I drive a completely stock Element. 2005 EX 5 spd AWD with roughly 58,000 miles (I say roughly because My Odometer went out and had to replace it.) I barely get to 300 miles if that before the gas light turns on. I change the oil religiously every 3000 miles and air filter every 6000 whether it needs it or not. I have tried lucas fuel injection cleaner and still nothing. When I bought it back in 2005 with about 15,000 miles on it i could get about 340 miles before the light came on. I commute to school about 35 miles every other day. 80% of my driving is highway.
My driving style is conservative. I only "get on it" if I am passing someone on a backroad.
Any ideas or thought on what could be causing the MPG loss or ways to gain it back would be greatly appreciative. Thanks
