My 2001 Manual ALH is refusing to get decent fuel economy. Intake is as clean as a whistle, EGR is as clean as it can be. I'm running B5 instead of using Power Service. I haven't got the exact data from fueling up yet but Scanguage is saying about 36, after seeing the position of the gauge at 175 miles on the tank (one mark from half) its doing the same as it was before cleaning the intake.
Even though I don't have precise data the gauge is at the same position its been at this mileage since I bought this car, so roughly no change. I'm wondering if the car sitting at 10 to 15 load at warm idle has something to do with it? It also sits at about 75% load at 60 MPH on straight and flat highway. Other than that can I get ideas for things to start checking / replacing?
