I know I shouldn't pay any attention to EPA estimates, but others have reported getting between 17 mpg and 20 mpg in moderate city traffic. I am getting between 10 mpg and 12 mpg.
I recently replaced an Idle Air Control Valve, Serpentine belt, Exhaust Gas Recirculator Valve, and had my Catalytic Converters (all 3) checked. I don't drive with a lead foot, I don't start off the line too fast and I don't come to sudden stops.
Anyway, I also ran a KOEO self test (uses 2-digit codes) and it came up with the left and right oxygen sensors detecting lean, and Fuel Pump Secondary Circuit Failure. That last one sounds bad, but then again I have one of those hidden fuel shut-off buttons inside the car on the floor next to the driver door, so it may have just saved into memory the fact that I used that.
When I took it to a muffler shop, thinking it was the cat converters causing a problem, they said that it's not the cats and that they smell unburned gas. Maybe a leaky fuel pump or fuel line? Maybe the fuel injector? At this point, I have no idea, but I can't afford to have bad gas mileage. Could someone help?
