I've never seen mine go that low and this will be my 3rd winter with it.

The O2 sensor basically regulates the fuel mixture. Maybe my O2 sensor(s) are just fouled up enough to affect fuel mileage but not pop the check engine light. Your right, 75-100 is a huge jump
Is your car garaged during the winter?

What does 375-400 per tank translate into gas mileage?

by **Grazi07** » Fri Dec 30, 2005 6:48 am

Roughly 22.25.

Sounds small, but over the course of 18 gallons it adds up. I should also note that I'm due for new plugs and an injector cleaning.

wait...so how do you reset your ECU and how do i clean my injectors? Do i have to buy one of those injector cleaners you get where you down abottle into a tank of gas?

also how many change will getting new spark wires make?
