I do not know about the oil usage or air filter. The tire pressure did
get a bit low recently, however we have pretty much been on top of it.
The dealership did do diagnostics which should have shown a clogged air
filter. The only thing that they could come with was driving style.
But I cannot imagine a 8 mpg difference from the expected 30 mpg city.
My next step is to have the oil changed.
