No other symptoms, kinder?  How many miles on your SHO?  Stop-n-go driving is fatal to mpg.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

My absolute worst tank was 15.9mpg and I calculate every tank when I fill up again. I've got around 50 tanks of gas logged. The 15.9 occurred during a month of pretty much nothing but below-freezing temperatures. My average over all those tanks is an even 20 at this point.

No mods aside from my immense willpower to go faster. 21000km (13000mi). All stop and go. I punch it a bit. Never to floor.

Well once in a while to floor.

K, once a day for this nice little hill. :P

Very nice!  Doesn't hurt the 1/4 mile times with the driver actively working towards lean 'n' mean!

LOL; I haven't posted update in a long time -- got tired of it. I do all my posting on IG.

I'm down to 278 from 315. I'm cut like a SOB. Almost there; just need to hit 250lbs.

Hoping to see 12.5's again or at least more consistent in warmer temps.

I thought my 19.5 mpg in the DC metro traffic was bad. After reading this thread I realize I'm doing pretty good. I get around 28 highway. Only mod is a CAI.

I usually get 19 mpg mostly city with a heavy foot. There must be something wrong. I know our explorer is around 15 or 16. But it's all small hops around the city.

K, so dealer said they could look but if not warning lights (running rich etc) come up there will be nothing they could do. Shop foreman checked for TSBs on my vin, nothing. :(

OH well it prob is just the way the drive is. Fair amount of stop and go. It is what it is.

Three things that are fairly easy to DIY:  check all hose clamps for tightness, spark plugs for any signs of fouling, and running a bottle or two of Techron through the fuel system (or use a known high quality 93 octane fuel for a couple of tanks).  It may be worth getting a tune for the improved gas mileage that many have reported, but most likely you'd be running 93 fulltime at that point.
