Hello all I am new at this, and was hoping for some help. I have recently purchased a new 2004 Insight from a local dealer. Its inital MPG reading was at 25.1 from the lot. After driving 400 miles its MPG reading is only at 48.1 MPG with tires PSI 40 all around, and interstate highway traveling from 65 mph to 70 mph.
I asked the dealer about this and they indicated that in the Northeast (PA.) oxygenators are added to the gas in winter, and that this is the cause for lower perfomance. They said that no other owner has complained about this, and also indicated that since the car does not have 3000 miles on it yet that it still needs to be broken in.
Can anyone tell me if the dealer is correct?
