Ok, so I've had my tC for a little under 2 weeks, and I noticed that it was pulling a little to the left on the highway. Finally remembered to check my tire pressure, and this is how it left the dealership:

Left Front: 23 psi
Right Front: 48 psi (!!)
Left Rear: 24 psi
Right Rear: 28 psi

Doh! Anyway, since these numbers were kind of goofy, I was wondering what else I should check to make sure the dealer didn't get anything else wrong.

Also, I've hit the gas station a couple of times, and here's the MPG I calculated:

Dealer-->1st fillup: 15 MPG
1st fillup--> 2nd fillup: 27 MPG
2nd fillup-->3rd fillup: 26MPG

What does this tell me? Tells me the dealer didn't fill up my tank all the way, which wouldn't be so bad except my sticker says I paid for a full tank of gas. Hee hee. This is just a minor gripe, but I was wondering in the beginning how I got such bad gas mileage!

Lovin' driving the tC each and every day!

 

If you check the door panel it says what to air pressure is needed in the tires. And yes the front is different then the back. When i got mine back from the dealer my tire pressure was 41 all the way around. I just left it like that. I get the norm gas mileage 26-27mpg. I know what your talking about how you pay for the full tank of gas but the only have to fill it up half way because it already has gas in it WHAT A JIP!

 

you do get a full tank of gas. while you are breaking it in you get worse gas milage, after around 500 miles or so it gets better.

 

I dont know when i first got my tC i got excellent gas mileage. So i guess driving conditions may vary or something. Oh yeah and my tC was pulling to the right when i first got it. So i took it back and they re-balanced the tires and it hasn't done it since. Just food for thought.

 

I found plastic from delivery all underneath my seats and whatnot. They had to PDI it FAST because it had just come off the truck when I picked it out. They said that the tires are overinflated from shipping, so the car won't move around so much. Outside of the pieces of plastic, mine was OK and my gas mileage has been pretty damn good. I'm @ 1/2 tank and I've got like 150 miles on it so far.

 

yeah you'll get around 300 miles on one tank.
