Sent to Car Experts July 01 01:41 PM

I own a 2004 Saturn Vue. The problem with the car is the gas mileage, and is getting worse. I was getting over 24 mpg and now the average is 12 mpg. I’ve taken the vehicle to Saturn dealership, over the pasted 12 months, several times, and they keep tell me there is noting wrong. I have been documenting the mileage, and I know for a fact, the true mpg. All they have done is test drive the car, and tell me that the cars fine. What can I do??

Thanks,

Gary Peterson

There may be a chance of a sensor giving false readings. Since your car is still under warranty the dealer should scan the computer for you to see if there is a problem. REQUEST IT!! The only two things that could go wrong and cause bad fuel mileage from normal wear and tear are a clogged fuel filter or a clogged air filter. These are a possibility at 17000 miles. I hope this helps you. Let me know if you have any other questions. Sorry it took so long, it was only posted under "accept". Let me know if you have any more questions.
