New o2 - Gas Mileage Increase

Post by evolutionmovement »

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.

Midnight in a Perfect World on Amazon or order anywhere. The first book in a quartet chronicling the rise of a man from angry criminal to philanthropist. Midnight... is a distopic noirish novel featuring 'Duchess', a modified 1990 Subaru Legacy wagon.

My O2 Change out this summer did nothing for my Mileage.
