Did you do any hand calculated mpg?

And if so, over how many miles and gallons did you do the calculations by hand?

in other words, how much of a sample size?

until you do some hand calcuLtions, you really don’t know where you’re at. No idea why you mention/suspect a fuel pump issue?

Idk the shop told me I need a new idlers and serpentine belt and purge valve and clean the system and drive on the highway.
and need a fuel pump probably because like I said the fuel gauge changes sometimes goes up on gas and down and then up tank size too.
