Did you reset the mpg reading on the computer after you filled up? Otherwise it will just keep reading average mpg from it last milage point. Which means it could average usage from the previous fill up. That thing isn't as accurate as physical measurements anyways. It can change the instant you start to drive a little more sportingly.

I replaced my seriously scraped and broken chin spoiler. I suspect that I am going to consider this part a consumable item. It is time to tear out and replace my spoiler-eating driveway to street transition.

I just consider it a badge of honor. Eventually it will stop scraping. It did until I lowered it a tad with the coil overs and it started up again.

RE: spoiler-eating driveway. Can you just use a steel plate to even it up?

I thought about diamond plate, but I am afraid someone will take it. I am probably going to go with jackhammering it out and repouring with a nice, gentle slope. BTW: I do consider the scrapes a badge of honor, but I eventually broke the tabs that hold the ends in place.
