I got his car in Aug 2005. As soon as I got this car, I started to check the gas mileage. As
soon as I got the numbers, I went to Tim Dahle the dealer I bought it from, 3 times, and each time he told me that the way I was driving the car was the problem. It is the worst mpg car in my life. I did whatever possible could be done to improve the gas mileage, no use. The car still gives me only 11.5 miles per gallon.
