Im not sure what the sticker said the gas mileage could be on this vehicle
but driving conditions such as highway, city terrain and all that come
into
play when it comes to economy. The dealer is right, if there was a problem
with this vehicle the check engine light would turn on alerting you that a
problem was causing a high fuel consumption problem.
