that's much better gas mileage than i was getting. normally, well I used to get about that on a whole tank.

170 miles on a full tank? Something was horribly off. I get that and more on 1/2 tank.

yeah, i got some issues I got to work out. I hope its the o2 sensors, which has had the CEL on for awhile. I hope that will fix that. after I do that I gatta see how things are.

this is also why I want to get a miata. 30+ mpg = D
