ok so I just got back from the gas station and I figured out i'm getting 13MPG!!! that totally sucks I drive hard but not THAT hard... there must be something wrong with my car... I have within the past month replaced the O2 sensor, Coolant sensor, put in new NGK plugs/wires.. Cleaned the MAF. etc... I also have a brand new Cone Filter, Reset the ECU etc.. I checked the PSI on all my tires before I tested my mileage... WTF is wrong with my car!! The only thing different that I did from normal is that I was running 89 octane when I usually run 93 I noticed that the car had less power running the 89 but it can't have made THAT big a difference on mileage... is my ECU toast? There must be something that is causing my car to run super rich and I need to figure out what.. Any Ideas??? any help would be GREAT!!
