I keep a detailed record of all my fill ups and mileage on my '01 ST. I will
be emailing my mechanic the tabulated results which show a steady increase in
fuel consumption from the first tankfull in September to the last in December.
It's very obvious when you look at it on a spread sheet that something is
wrong. I'm sure he will follow up until the problem is solved. I'm not sure
anything can be done now as test rides are out of the question what with the
icy roads & all.
Until then if anyone finds anything out about this issue let us know.
I get two more visits to the shop and if they can't fix it I'll lemon law the
thing a second time and bag it for good.
I've had it in twice now for CO level adjustments & they obviously don't hold.
In case anyones interested:
