Would this terrific heat affect gas mileage? I purchased my Limited on 2/26/10. Since that time, I have had occasion to travel from Petersburg to Emporia, VA at least 25-30 times. I fill up when leaving Petersburg and my computer would show 35-38 mpg on the trip to Emporia. Once at home, when driving around town, the mpg would drop very little, as I drive conservatively, trying to keep the "eco" light on.
My last two trips from Petersburg to Emporia, the mpg has not exceeded 31 and when I drive around town the mpg drops drastically. Today I started up showing 30.9 and drove 1.5 miles and the computer showed 28.6.
Could hot weather be affecting mpg this much, or is it possible that the onboard computer has gotten out of whack and the fuel to air mixture is causing the mpg to drop?
Any suggestions? Will the service mgr. think I am crazy to ask about this?
