changing the octane is not enough of a difference to make your mpg normal. Id get that thing checked at an autozone or something, they do it for free. but IMO, its prob an o2 sensor, those things are a b****

good call Dom. Its much better for the car to do a complete fill up, set the tripometer then go til the light comes on , take those miles, and divide them by the number of gallons in the tank. that way you wont "suck bottom" wink.gif

The question is not how far. The question is, do you possess the constitution, the depth of faith, to go as far as is needed?
