    I need some advice about my 07 Elantra SE (auto trans). I have owned
    the car since November 06, and the typical mileage (almost all city)
    has been about 27-28 mpg (in other words, about what I'd expect).
    About four weeks ago, I got a yellow indicator lamp and brought the
    car in to the dealer. Here are the codes from the printout I got from
    the dealer: P0304 intermittent misfire in cylinder #4 spark plug and
    P0442 small evaporative leak. The fuel door was loosened and then
    tightened, and the cylinder #4 spark plugs replaced (again, I'm
    reading from the printout).

    As far as I can tell, the car has performed the same as usual, but
    the trip computer shows that the mileage has gone down to below 25
    mpg, for the exact same driving I've always done. Does the drop in
    mileage indicate that the spark plug misfire wasn't properly fixed?
    Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

    Everything is probably okay. Keep in mind that the trip computer display
    an average MPG. If it hasn't been reset since prior to the repair, it'
    likely to be counting data from when the car wasn't running properly an
    from when it was idling in the shop.
