Is there a known reliable source for this? Also, where to buy the DICE connector thingy?matthew1 wrote: 09 Oct 2023, 13:36 At 10 MPG, Vida will pay for itself quickly. Get a laptop+Vida combo, Vida already installed.

Just jumping on this thread. You may have just transitioned to winter grade fuel in your area where mileage will suffer. It does seem like too big a drop for gas change, but could be another factor.

I didn't read the thread, but my 140->170hp S60 2.4i auto averages at 23mpg no matter how much I let go of the gas, and this is on semi-long trips outside the city. Inside I'd imagine it would drop below 20 fast.
The 3.2 is even bigger, it almost seems plausible. However I'd look into a few things, vacuum leaks, O2 sensor and check and double check the torque converter is locking up.
