Default What the?! Mileage!

This is a SCARY increase! My average MPG went from 17 to 26 changing from a Bosch to a Denso o2 sensor. How is it even possible that I'm getting an average of 26?! Thats nuts!

That'* a crazy increase. That'll be paid for in, what, 3-4 tanks full?

What kind of driving do you do? 26 is a good average. I have pulled 30-30 on the highway, but only average about 20-22 due to my short commute.
