I'm driving a 93 accord w/160k miles
I've had to do a ton of stuff to it, and still have some to go...but I can't believe how much power this little OLD 4cyl has and still gets 28MPG. not too shabby for $1000
28mpg?!! I haven't been able to get that kind of mileage out of mine at all, 5 speed manual?


I was getting 25MPG prior to this tank....just changed my O2 sensor
recently changed spark plugs too. Plus it's all rural interstate highway

mine got 25mpg on the dot...
what kind of RPM are you guys shifting at during normal driving?

mine is @3k

I would fvking floor it all the time...spent most of my time in 3rd gear on the way home when driving throught the woods at breakneck speeds:D

How much $$$ is it to get an o2 sensor changed? Did it make a big difference? I'm not sure how old the o2 sensor is on my 1989 Taurus.

Generic O2 sensor is usually $50-80, OEM generally more than that. Hopefully they wouldn't charge you more than an hour of labor to do it. Might be worthwhile to see if you can do it yourself.
