I was thinking the same thing but I'm still getting somewhat decent gas mileage...averaging 20 mpg by the dash...regardless I still need to get it fixed...as a state inspector it irritates the hell out of me.

20 mpg? I get 16.4 max on the dash and pump calcs similar. I'm only driving 12 miles each way though and have a heavy foot.

I also bought mine used, runs great but dealer where I bought it said it's tuned. Pype Bombs all that's been done that i can see. Guess I should dyno it and or figure out the tune thing.

I drive from Arlington to Carrollton for work...about 70 miles a day at 65 with cruise control on in the right lane...UNTIL I see a comparable vehicle to mine...then it's play time

It I reset the mpg while on the highway it stay consistently at 25.3 mpg..adding stop and go in traffic and stop lights drops it to 19 mpg.

Thats really what trips me out...because usually a MIL light is limp mode...on default settings and the mpg drops...but being its a a/f ratio codes it scares me that it's running lean that would explain the numbers...so I reset it with my state inspection machine whenever its on and it stays gone for about a week or two.

I hadn't thought about the lean angle. Yeah, that would scare me, too.
