;)TRY ANOTHER BATTERY

I used to wash the engine after car wash. Some times the water would get on the electical conection of the igniter and cause erradic operation of the speedo/Tach.

Thanks for your reply. I notice the feel of the 2000 versus the feel of my previous 93 is substansially different. Different ride and, of course different acceleration. I am still trying to adjuust to the new ride. Its hard to believe the car is the same size and weight. I have a tendency to be a little heave on the exeleration, until I get used to it

Have you tracked your mileage in your 2000 LS over a number of tankfuls and are you driving it like your 93 LS? When I say track your mileage I mean calculate your milege exactly -- divide miles traveled by gallons used ... don't do "s.w.a.g." estimates. Have you had your 00 LS long? I know I probably "stick my foot into the thottle" more with my 00 LS than I did with my 90 LS -- just for the sheer fun of it. Certainly doesn't help my gas mileage. Do you find yourself "enjoying" the much greater power of your 00 LS? I remember commenting to my wife last weekend that the trip computer on the 00 LS said that the tank mpg was 16.something mpg when the tank was probably less than half full. If I'm driving mainly on surface 35-45 mph streets the gas mileage on my 00 LS often descends into the 16 mpg range. The 5th transmission gear doesn't help gas mileage much in low speed city driving.

I moved from a 1993 to 2000 LS. It seems like I am only getting 16 mpg on my newer car, where on my 1993 I was averaging 18-19 mpg. I think the weight and size of the cars is the same, With VVTi and 5 speed trany, I think I should be getting better gas mileage not worse . Anybody have any ideas or suggestions on what to check or do? Thanks JAYBE
