V6 SLE MPG Question
I just picked up a '99 V6 SLE last week and I'm a little conerned about the 18.5 mpg I am experiencing. What is everyone out there really getting?
Before I bought it, I did some research and found that it should get around 20/city and 28/hwy. This was one of the main reasons I got it because I wanted to save some money - both in mpgs and gas price (my Z was running about 20mpg combined on 91 octane).
The day I got it, the CEL light went on due to some bad O2 sensors so the previous owner had them replaced so it would pass emissions. I was hoping this would help, but it doesn't seem to have any impact. Would it take longer than a week for anything noticeable to happen with the mpgs?
I'm going to take it in to a shop nearby to have it checked out and didn't know if I should have them lookinto anything in particular in this area,
Thanks
