Yikes, last tank yielded 13.62 mpg. Usually around 17 in suburban driving mix. Poll? Or not...

Default Yikes, last tank yielded 13.62 mpg. Usually around 17 in suburban driving mix. Poll? Or not...

Bit of a shock after attaining 26.96 mpg on one tank and an average of 21.96 mpg over 2,044 miles on my road trip a couple weeks ago.

I added a bottle of Techron this time as I'll be going in for my 20K service after this next tank. I noticed that the container doesn't warn about how many times you can use the stuff anymore - it says something to the effect of use it twice for even better results, and use it every 3,000 miles too.
