Do put the pedal to the floor. Full acceleration causes problems with the emissions system! This is turn cause the mileage to drop. The emissions system makes the engine run rich with more fuel to clean the intake manifold and other parts till the sensors tell the computer that it is clean again. Ask your mechanic to run a check to see if it ever had a code for emissions system carbon buildup. I had it happen cause I used to like to floor it and zoom but I learned my lesson! It ws covered under warranty but the mechanics explained how it works so now I rarely use full throttle. Other that that problem I have had NO problems with the drivetrain. I also use the 0W-20W oil and that seems to help with mpg. I just pulled into the garage from city driving with it saying 39.4 mpg! And that was lots of stop and go in construction zones today.     If I remember correctly there is a screen where you can select what shows on the DIC. I had a hell of a time finding it! But I remember it was because in stock format there are 2 trip odometers! So someone turned them off probably previous owner. I use one to watch for 3000 miles to schedule and oil change and the other for miles in a tank of fuel. I am at half tank now with about 300 miles of driving. Ask any other questions you might have.</blockquote>
