Not a drop of premium (even the dealer pumped regular).
Fillups at Sam's Club, mostly at same pump.

Have about 6000 miles on coupe. Great gas prices today - $2.41 for 93. Any ideas for what's up with the drop in mileage?

I notice the same thing. My mileage has dropped fromm about 46 MPG to 42 MPG on my 50 mile RT commute. Morning temps are inthe low 40s F. I wonder if the gas has been refromulted for winter driving

My last tank..
from full, I went 371 miles, and refilled at 0.8 gallons. sooo... 7.9 divided by 371= 46.96. not bad for a car that is said to get 33city/41hwy. this last tank was a bit of both.

I will hit 10,000 miles next week in my 5th month of ownership. I have tracked every tank since fill #1 and these cars are erratic when it comes to mpg. I've always used name brand gas and it doesn't seem to make any difference what grade I use on my 110 mile daily commute. Low was 37, high was 52.9, the average has been 42.9mpg overall. My commute is 75% freeway and 25% Chicago city surface roads. I am very pleased, just wish I understood the erratic nature of the beast.
