ok... for the past couple weeks (I drive a lot and fill up about every two days) I have been on the mpg rollercoaster. Appart from that when it idles it sometimes has a little shudder in th rpm's (sits low then it goes up by a bit and then returns to normal).
It's a 98 xj with 136K miles on it, just passed the smog check with flying colors (twice) and I got no clue what the problem is. I figure that the O2 sensor is good cause it had no problems with the smog test, and the tbody is clean (just recleaned it couple days ago to make sure). I use ussualy the same 3 gas stations, and my mpg varies from ~12 (one time as low as 10) to ~18 while before it was a stable 16 ~ 18mpg which I was happy with.
Any ideas what should I do next? Btw, it's a stick with 4.0 that runs fresh Mobil 1 every 3K, 4.11 R&P and 31" tires (and the pressure in tires is same as it always has been on the street)
