Hello,

I have a 1990,BMW 525 it was giving me a mileage of 6.6 kmpl.I parked my car in my closed garage and went on a vacation for three weeks.No body had even touched my car during my absense.After i come back i filled up the gas(quarter tank was remaining the tank already and filled full) and starting driving.Now i am getting a mileage of not more then 4.8.It is really funny to say this.But it happened to me.

What could be possible reasons for this?

I live in Bahrain and I bought this car last year from an agent who imports BMW from dubai and i never changed my catalytic converter till now.My dash board warnings tells me CATALYST + OWNERS HANDBOOK when I start my car.By changing the catalytic converter any more mileage i can expect.

Your advices are appreciated.
