Aswell as I know its time for an oil change. i have 15,000 miles now. Purchased the vehicle with 12,000 miles. I know its only .4 of a difference but I dont like it.
Unless it has to do with me being on the throttle a little more as im used to the car by now =}

If you let it sit and idle a lot more to warm up it will hit you pretty had on your average.
Mine went from a rock steady 7.3L/100 for 5 months to 7.4 now that I have been letting it idle for 5+ minutes at each start up. Probably would be up more if it weren't for the road conditions that have forced me to be way lighter on the throttle then normal.
