My mileage has dropped quite noticeably as well. I wonder what's up? Unfortunately, the pumps don't have to tell if they're 100 percent gas or 90/10 gas/ethanol...I don't know if it is the crap gas in Michigan or a combiantion between colder weather and gas but I have dropped down to 20-21 mpg. Mix of city 30% and hwy 70%. And FTR, I don't let the RPM's get above 3000.
That stinks man, too bad your state doesn't have this as a law such as in SC. I am in NC and too suffer this problem. Juts remember that each brand will have different mixtures so you may want to ask the clerk for the mix the station sells as most will be straight up with you. I have known many who will tell you where they fill-up as it's like insider knowledge to them, lol.My mileage has dropped quite noticeably as well. I wonder what's up?

I've looked for those signs about containing ethonol but haven't seen them in Traverse City either. I guess I will stick to the el'cheapo hole in the wall gas station and save myself alittle since it doesnt make a difference for mileage.My mileage has dropped quite noticeably as well.

I think I calculated 25 mpg once this summer! I'd be happy with that now but I bet it won't ever happen againI should have never said anything.... I jinxed myself. Last fill up 25 mpg. I do have another trip down to Moab planned soon. Have to see if the fuel makes any difference this time.
You won't see them, either. Michigan law stipulates that pumps only have to state that the fuel they dispense "Meets Michigan Purity and Quality Standards" or something like that.I've looked for those signs about containing ethonol but haven't seen them in Traverse City either.

Speaking of things, I've never gotten mileage this bad on my E, at least at temperatures above 0 F. I haven't seen above 23 in the last six weeks. I don't know if I have a brake dragging or what. I do know that I have a ball joint going bad already at 59,000 miles. Whatever the case, if the mileage keeps going like this with the moderate fall weather we've had here, the Element is GONE come spring. I ain't driving a car that only gets 22 mpg.You won't see them, either.
