Hi all,
Just bought a used Element beginning of the month and have had to fill up almost full tanks 2x since Oct 1st, averaging 15mpg.
I do drive a lot of city miles (Atlanta not the best place to let loose) but very concerned. Did and still do hear a grinding noise before purchasing vehicle, assumed it was the brakes AND dealer told me it will get better (had them check it, go figure) and have not yet checked air filter/plugs as suggested in other posts. Could it be the brakes inhibiting ride?
