[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a newish Subaru Forrester. I love the car and the gas mileage has been great. But just in the last week or two I noticed I seem to be going through gas much more quickly.[b] today I filled it up at my usual place before going on a short road trip[/b] and within an hour or a quarter of the tank had already been used per the gas gauge. I assumed there was something wrong with my car, [b]but when I filled up the tank later in the day at another gas station[/b] the great mpg I’m used to seemed to return. So my question is - can gas from one station to the next really differ that much? Would that be the reason for having both terrible mileage and great mileage in the same day?[/quote]

you filled up twice in one day? [/quote]

yes.  I filled it right before heading out on a drive that would be about 480 miles round trip (one day.) I can usually do the whole trip on about single tank of gas.  So the first have of trip was when I noticed the guage going down super quickly, like I was at 3/4 of a tank after an hour which obviously wouldn't get me there and back on one tank.  On my way home I refilled tank in another state and only used a quarter of the tank after 2 hours of driving.  So I guess the guage could be off, but since it was the same day just different source of gas I assumed the fuel was related.[/quote]
