Im down around 11-15

Mostly all stop and go, and I only drive when im on the weekends I come home from school, so Im on the gas all the time, just gets all my fustrations out.


I think I should be getting a little better though, kinda have a rough idle, mabee O2's are screwed up

Im thinkin its time to change em. Theres 90K on teh car and im not sure if they have ever been changed.


Will freescan tell me what kinda numbers im getting and if the O2's are on the way out?

I get a pretty consistant 18-19MPG with 60% city driving. Of course, it doesn't help that on the highway portion I typically cruise at 80MPH. I'm sure if I could drop down to cruising at 65-70MPH it'd up the average significantly. I haven't had a 100% highway tank yet, so I can't give any figures there, but I know with my 92 (LT1) Vette I got 32MPG a couple of times on highway trips with cruise set on 70.
