holy mileage increase!! (look at my cat, page2!!)
so i did my 120k tuneup...
replaced many a things, along with the o2 (oxygen sensor)...
i was averaging about 225 miles to a tank, about 12mpg... and i figured it was just cuz i drive like a devil...
after the o2 change, i saw an IMMEDIATE increase from 225 miles to 375 miles out of my tank...
now im thinking, WHY DIDNT I DO THIS SOONER!!!
i wasted so much gas... so im passing this on to you... think you got bad mileage, change the damn $30 part!!!!

You thought 12 was normal for hard driving? Man I get like 17 city with a heavy foot, and 23 highway. I am so glad you got that fixed.
If you have two, only one will affect gas mileage. The one before the cat.
