I did notice the MPG in a 2025 sedan with 19000 miles reading around 9–12mpg this week with a distance to empty of 170 on a full tank. It was more like 330, had been getting worse (200s) and now this.
And I have an old ford truck that absolutely wreaks of gas/exhaust or something rich when it’s keyed on now. Getting 9-12mpg in that thing wouldn’t get me to bat an eye but come on; in the new car?
Wasn’t doing this until I’d just filled it up last week. The last tank I went through was probably from February? I don’t drive it that much. You could say it has a pretty simple exhaust system that wouldn’t do as good of a job at masking theoretical adulterants. That didn’t even cross my mind, I just noticed this horrible noxious smell when I re parked it last night.
Los Angeles at the moment.
Didn’t California just lose a couple refineries who said no thanks and took a billion dollar loss rather than confirm to new environmental regulations?
