Gas milage
I am getting considerably less milage out of each tank of gas lately. I am used to getting 27-29 miles/gallon and now I'm lucky if I get 23! I've already checked my tire pressure and air filter and both are fine. Does anybody have any other suggestions? How much will it cost? Thanks!!!! - CEC

Thanks everyone! Does anyone know how to tell if your O2 sensor is good or bad?

Re: Gas milage (CEC76)
You guys are getting some really good gas mileage. I'm lucky to get over 300 mpg on a full tank. Does the B16 my 2000 Si has get that bad of mileage?

Re: Gas milage (bagelw)
i would suggest you change these things: fuel filter, cap, rotor, spark plugs, and spark plug wires. also, adjust your valve clearance (if it has been more than 15,000 miles on your car). this on top of what others suggested and add a bottle of fuel injector cleaner (either redline or VP racing fuels).
