I'm new here and a new Sentra owner. Its my first car i got it on New Years day. Well i filled the tank up right after i got off the lot and today i had to fill it again, i thought it seemed kinda fishy when it only had 173 miles on that tank and it took 9 gallons to fill it so its about 20mpg. I dont know what the problem is cause i know i should be getting at least 30. Yeah i drove it hard to test it out in the first week but still even w/ hard driving it should've got better then 20mpg shouldnt it have? I dont think its a gas leak but i'm not sure cause its been raining every day since i've got the car and the ground has been wet so its hard to tell. I did notice that i could smell gas today while i was driving it, i'm not sure what that means though. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
On a side note i hate deer... I got this car less then a week ago and i hit a deer on the way home today. Lucky there's not to much damage and now i've got an excuse to buy some aftermarket headlights(seeing as how the LH side is shattered). I've already ordered replacement parts off of Ebay. I've just got to fix a couple of dents on the fender and hood and its good as new and it wont matter for real long anyway since i plan on replacing both of them w/ aftermarket stuff after i get the money(probably like a year).
