[QUOTE="Igor Smetaniuk, post: 1020612, member: 69592"] Have you changed tires since then from OEM to some other brand. Tires can make a difference when it comes to Rolling Resistance and the compounds they're constructed with. The other thing would be a slightly greater drag in your calipers since they were new. It's possible that even the materials of a different pad manufacturer could cause a difference in drag. I'm sure there are other driveline variables that could affect gas mileage but I would think the tires are the first in line for something like loss of mpg. [/QUOTE]
