Folks,
I have 51K on my car.  I suddenly noticed that my gas mileage went
dwon from 22m/g to 6m/g.  What could be the reason?

Check engine light on?

Has the consumption actually changed by that degree, or is it just the OBC
telling you lies? That is a drastic change that really should be accompanied
by very poor running if a real-time value. (Either that, or stop towing 30'
caravans :-) )

Considering that is a decrease of around 75%, I would be wondering if the
math was right, or if the display (and hense the numbers used in the math)
was still set to MPG instead of L/100KM.

Perhaps your kid is stealing the gas for HIS car.
