    I had a new battery put in last week. And my gas mileage has gone from 350 a tank to 250 a tank! Anyone know why this might me happening?

    I experienced the same thing when I got a new battery. It takes the computer a while to readjust to your driving habits. The winter blend of gas doesn't help either. I think it took a few tanks for the computer to adjust.
