I need some ideas on what to replace. I just ordered an O2 sensor and a new CAT is on the way also.
I took a trip yesterday over to the shore yesterday, so the tank was use for 1/4 city, 3/4 highway. I got 17.somthing mpg. AHH...I noramally will get 18ish CITY and 25ish highway. Although the tank before this one I got 16something city.
What has gone bad. I just cleaned the K&N before the road trip (gutted the air box too).
any ideas on why my gas mileage is so bad?

those two tanks my driving was "nicer" than normal because I had passengers. And even when I am alone and drive the **** out of the car I have never seen it bad.

I'd consider where you picked up the fuel. Sometimes a place with get a bad batch or two.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The only thing that whines louder than our SUPERCHARGERS are the people that don't have them.
