I know my check engine light is on due to some of my emissions system not functioning correctly, Im also due for a tune up (77,000 miles). I also have 2.25 inch exhaust w/ magnaflow muffler so thats not helping, but when I first got the car I was getting nearly 38-40 mpg before I put on the exhaust/intake/ 17's rev wheels ; ( . Now I can't seem to get 30 mpg out of it, and my parents v-6 Buick century (4 door family car) gets more than I do !!
Why dont you check the code. Look at the top of the b14 section and there is a sticky on how to do it. Then you will know what is wrong with your car, and maybe causing your bad gas milage.
Im guessing that its your o2 sensor. A tune up will help your milage out also.
