usually it will throw a code. mine does. i've driven without the primary and without the secondary and gas mileage didn't change. i'm still confused on why my car doesn't seem to care whether or not i have an o2 sensor. check to see what your plugs look like. you could be runnning rich or maybe bad timing?

a lazy o2 will not throw a code and it could effect your gas milage. check your timing it should be at 15 degrees BTDC. and a clogged air filter will give you shitty gas milage too

white could also be over advanced ignition timing. how much were you getting on a tank before? i usually get about 460. mix of city and highway.
