Default New Control arms, better mpg and better charging

A few months ago I posted that my HCHII was not charging to 8 bars. It has about 20k miles on it. I took it in to get an oil changed and they also replaced the control arms in rear. Now its getting better MPG and charging to 8 bars no problem.

Anyone else notce that? the negative camber must have been affecting efficiency.

Maybe they upgraded the software without telling you. At my 30K service last August, they upgraded the software on my car without telling me. I've had lots of problems with the SOC guage not being even close to accurate since then - i'm still pissed off at the dealer about not asking me first!
