Interesting...this goes to show that there might be something that the dealers are doing intentionally or not, that either causes increase or decrease the car's gas mileage. It may be something that only the programmers are aware of, but not the mechanics who are just following what they're being told. I wonder if there is a "fuel efficient" code that can be done to ensure the settings are set to the best possible fuel efficient settings?
