Winter fuel has killed mileage, or the addition of Power Service has, not sure which.... MFD was 44.0 mpg. Colder it is getting, the worse the mileage. Last was an EXXon station that was not an Exxon pump, and probably not Exxon fuel. Added RBP this time.

Sunoco fuel sucks. Was a brand new station, so fuel was as fresh as it gets. MFD readout was 49.7..... Go figure, fuelly says this was the best tank of the bunch.Got a 1 dollar break from grocery purchases, which is nice. Well found out the dealer may be correcting the error with the speedometer/odometer, which may account for change in how MPG is recorded on the mfd.

Odometer is off + 1/2 mile for every 15 traveled, therefore on this tank I went 28.1 miles further than what is indicated here. That would bring the hand calculate MPG to 50.84mpg. that is 0.16 mpg less than the display reading of 51.0 mpg. So don't adjust you mpg calculation before you adjust the odometer, as the calculation is almost on the money. At least on mine. This is on Exxon fuel, this tank as well.

I drive usually very conservatively. For this being the first fill up, I think it did wonderful. This is as good as my 05 after being well broken in. Got on the cold side 20's during this tank, so I expect to get better next tank.
