a co-worker bought a new chevy colorado, and was bragging at work about how spectacular the gas mileage was compared to his old truck. so the story-teller said for the next 4 weeks, he would add 2 gallons every day in the parking lot to the colorado. one day he stopped. and from that day forward, the co-worker started visiting the dealer every week to have them look at why the gas mileage tanked so bad!

I would change the spark plugs and air filter.
Then recheck. |

I’ve consistently gotten 2-3mpg lower than the digital readout indicates on stock 2018 brz. Could it be that it doesn’t read throttle blips when downshifting? Readout is 23mpg and I get about 21 driving 90%+ city and rev match most downshifts
