The fuel mileage is getting worse. I've got 1960 miles and I've checked my mpg several times and it has been slowly decreasing towards 21.

I finally received a response from the dealership where I bought this car in reference to the gas tank capacity but they, as usual, have again given me a canned response...telling me that it is written in the manual that I am not supposed to overfill or fill my tank to its capacity for fear of electrical problems, computer problems, or fire from leakage. I responded to them that if they didn't want me or anyone else to fill our cars tanks to capacity then they should have put some sort of blockage into the system to prevent us from doing so. I also informed them that their problems are based mainly on problems associated with the Model A and T from the 20's which were known for fire problems from overfill or filling to capacity.

I then asked the factory rep and the dealership that if they could totally say, without a doubt, that the overfilling of a tank or filling to capacity caused the problems they claim...then why isn't it stated clearly as such on the sticker and also warnings to the general public via public awareness announcements on tv? As usual, they more or less declined to answer by giving the normal canned response which is....the manual says...!

If overfill or filling to capacity causes the problems, then why haven't my friends and family ever witnessed any of these so-called problems? We've been filling to capacity ever since we were old enough to drive and that has been since the mid 60's.

And then I finally asked the reps, what does filling to capacity have to do with getting poor gas mileage? As usual, a canned repsonse. Go figure!
