Re: Gas Mileage (Bradley3)
That'd do it.
But I used to get low to mid 30's when cruise was set at 50-55
Now I get about mid 20's at the same speed. My average for a trip used to be about 25, now it's around 19.

Re: Gas Mileage (Bradley3)
I am going through the same thing and the consensus on the forum and with all my buddies is that it is most likely the O2 sensors. I have 2 on order from Jeff Kopp and will be installing after I am done my travel for the next 2 weeks.
If this is the ticket, I will definitely post about it.

Re: Gas Mileage (Bradley3)
I would suspect either O2 sensor or not going into closed loop due to bad coolant temp sensor. A scan tool will show the way, although you could check the coolant sensor with an ohmeter to see if resistance varies with temp. Also if you put it into field test mode the SES should flash at about 1Hz when it goes into closed loop.
