Is there an adjustment you can make?

On my old Acura you could calibrate the temp sensor.

Does it help?

Seems if I enjoy "spirited driving" I get 13.7 MPG for a tank, then if I baby it I get about 14.5

I get about 12 mpg at track events, 17 - 19 in town and 24 - 28 on the highway. Having watched the first gas "crisis" and driven through the second one in the Seventies, I'm rather conscious of fuel mileage. On secondary streets, I *****-foot the throttle.

Lol dude! 14.5 babying the car?!? That is FAR from normal. I drive a bit more aggressive than the average person and I average 19-21 mpg with almost exclusively city driving. Might want to get something checked.
