I just got new tires 2 weeks ago.

I think the drop may be because I was driving all highway miles untill about 3 weeks ago, and the new tires with nice thick tread.

I didn't think that it could drop this significantly but if most cars are 25/35 then about 100 mile drop could be due to none highway miles.

I am using my air conditioner 24/7. Again didn't think that would make such a difference.

I called VW they want to charge me $100 just to do a diagnostic on the sensor for the oxygen. That to me is insane.

$1500 repair was for:
new windsheild
new axel
alignment
full tune up
new hubcap
so on.....

Thanks for your help guys, again I think it is due to highway vs. none highway miles and the consistant use of A/C.
