The MOST i ever put in a tank was 15. I don't want to stress my fuel pump like that. I know the 92 bonnies were CRAP for fuel pickup. I heard the fixed it in 93 but it'* not good for a car!

How long should the AC Delco O2 sensors last? I changed mine last January I think, Feb. at the latest, and now my mileage is dropping again. I doubt it can be the O2 again. How often should I change the O2...once a year?

Usually I can go about 310 or 320 miles in regular driving on a full tank.... I checked my milage today and it was 22 mpg with a lot of mixed driving..... But in the cooler months it does drop off a bit, it takes longer for the engine to heat up from cold....The last time it got down to 28-29 degrees here I got about 16 - 17 mpg instead of the 18-20 I usually get...

That 180 stat doesn't make much of a difference. My car comes stock with a 180, and I did a jaunt from Toronto to Syracuse and burned 1/4 tank.
Even in my 89 when I switched, no difference. Its o2, injectors, or changing gas grades

I bought a Bosch Oxegen sensor. However I have bought Bosch Oxegens sensors for every vehicle I had and never had any problems. The only Bosch products that I have had problems with are the plugs. Its running great, no SES lights.

I think it was due to changing gas grades due to this is the first tank of gas that I had this poor gas mileage with.

I've heard some people with Bonnes that have Bosch O2 sensors and haven't had problems. But our engines specifically don't usually like Bosch O2 sensors. Other cars probably work better with Bosch O2'*.

Everyone who'* had a bosch unit here had it die very quickly on them. Everything bosch doesn't work with these cars well. I don't doubt their qualtiy, they just don't like H bodies.
