I started buying gas at a new station(they just opened) my MPG went up by a lot...


so is the gas station giving me free gas or i'm getting better MPG


it's on slight "downhill slope" so it's filling up all the way but my MPG suddenly jumped at that pump(Yes i did reset the suv to the pump and been pumping at #5 with 91octane) the day before the trip.. i only paid 13.98$ to go 143 miles @ 3.49 a gallon . the next day directly after the trip.. it was above the full line the whole trip...(this never happened before)




if this is true and i'm paying $2.54 a gallon I'm getting the BEST price in california.(for 91oct) 87 oct is only $3.19 (i don't use 87 oct as AFM acts super weird with it)



getting 35.8mpg (highway) and 27.4mpg (city)around town.... it says on the AVG is 23MPG, so is the pump giving me free gas or am I just getting better MPG i did notice the AFM is more in v4 lately WAY more then ever... I have not adjusted my driving habits.. same 55 ~ 83mph That I normally go..


what i think is happening it is pumping free extra gas for me at that pump? (Circle K branded station)

unless other stations have been robbing me in the first place? when it's full it says "600 miles range"...


it's really annoying because it's fudging up my numbers on fuelly

Not to worry, it's just the extra fuel you pumped into the charcoal canister.

Well somethings gotta keep the pellets there

Isn't that like an auxiliary fuel tank?

this would be the fault of the station owner then, the gas pumps are Autoshut off...there is no fuel in the canister other wise i all ready would have gotten a CEL.
