MPG Average not correct? too high?
Just recently I replaced my spark plugs, cleaned my throttle body and mass air flow sensor. I cleaned
both with its recommended cleaner. After that, for a few days the vehicle was acting up in terms of the
rpm was jumping up and down when i was coming to a stop. It was also idling high most of the time
when the engine was on and on park. After a few days the car settled in and operates fine now.
However, now when i check the avg mpg I'm getting about 20-21 city and highway. This doesn't add
up. Has anyone else had this happen? any suggestions?

my "in town" driving is yielding about 17.2 mpg.....and I drive like an old lady...meaning VERY easy on the pedal. Seems low to me...but i've only owned the car since January so not sure if this is normal or not. It's an 09' RWD GS 350. The time I did have it on the HWY for nearly a full tank...it was upper 20's..like 28mpg or so. Quite a difference.
Curious..how did you clean your throttle body?

I read within a couple threads that after cleaning the throttle body the car acts "funny" for a day or so, but then returns to normal.
