Average MPG Resetting Itself
It may be time for a new battery. Startups have been semi-slow cranking for a while now, I have been getting wheel speed sensor DIC messages (C1226) more frequently and about the last week or so the Average MPG meter has been resetting itself after sitting overnight.
I'd say its time to invest in a new one...

Looks like the voltage readings are indicating a battery. To be sure most autoparts store will do a free on the car electical system check that tests both the battery and alternator....
the next question is which battery?
Optima Red top ?

I don't know why everone gets all hopped up about fancy batteries. I know it's a 'vette but to me a battery is a battery is a battery (assuming it is not a leaky stock Delco). It will more than likely be a Pep Boys or Autozone special.
