New o2 - Gas Mileage Increase
Posted: Sun Feb 06, 2005 12:01 am
Wow! Finally a warm damn weekend day. I've been getting barely 18 mpg for over a month (even less in the heavy snowstorms) and that is so disgusting I could spit to think about it. I think I will, in fact.
Well anyway, I changed the (original) o2 with a generic Bosch with about 2/5 gas tank left and I've already brought my average back to 21 mpg where I'd been averaging the usual 18 on the first 3/5! No driveability difference, although the car idled at about 1500 for a few miles after the change. Can't wait to see what my first full tank will get.
