MPG different between Sports and Base?

Have not checked any of these. It had only 8.6k miles and I just have driven it for 7 days for a total of about 900 miles including a 450 mile round trip. The dealer had stated he had changed the oil, claims it has synthetic, it looks clean. I have not really checked the air but the TPS light has not come on. I have not checked the air filter.

Maybe, I will just go get an oil and oil filter change and check air tomorrow.

Shouldn't be too different. the sport does weigh slightly more and has larger (heavier) rotors and wheels. Sport cd is 0.29 and base os 0.3

A ton of other things could factor into this, from the ambient temperature and humidity to the brand of tire or the weight of motor oil.

In the past when I bought a used car the first thing I would do was change the oil, that way way I knew for sure it was nice clean and fresh. Go with synthetic for extra mileage and as mentioned it won't hurt to check tire pressures and get some clean fresh air cleaners too. Maybe go with K&N for extra efficiency.
