I have noticed it seems like my 2001 Chevy K1500 fuel consumption has increased. I have 145,000 miles and no check engine lights or rough running. I use synthetic oils from bumper-to-bumper, have a K&N Cold Air intake system and the plugs have less than 20,000 on them. Over the years the mileage has gone from 16mpg to 12-13mpg, maybe 14mpg if I drive easy. I have not really changed my driving habits.
Could I actually have a problem or is it the Ethanol the fuel companies are blending into our fuels? I am suspecting the Ethanol. Our 2008 Mini Cooper S has also went from 35-33mpg to 30-31mpg with less than 60,000 miles. Thoughts?
