Default So... Can a bad BPV kill your gas milage?
I have not yet checked codes, or pressure tested... I haven't checked anything yet!!!

But I'm getting a wooshing at shifting, sounds like a bad BPV.

Anyrate, my fuel light usually comes on at 210 - 220 miles. Last night it came on at 180.

Grumble - Grumble.

it's prolly your lead foot - burnouts in parking lots, etc.

Not yet... I simply didn't have time. I did check my oil, and I've only used 1/4 qt over 5k miles.

Default venting boosted air back preturbo...
A: instead of going into the cylinder = rich and less power
B: less power = more lead foot

A + B = C (bad fuel economy)
