What engine do you have? KA24E (4-cylinder) would be 18/20. VG30E (V6 engine) would be 15/18.

No problem. 12 is too low for a 4-cylinder, even with 4x4. EPA rates it 18/20. As I drive mine, it's pretty much 20-21 all the time, no matter what. On my last tank, I calculated 22...not sure of the difference there. Half the tank was an easy cruise down US-220 through North Carolina, but I still typically get 20-21 on the road. I must have had a good tailwind that time.

Thanx for your input. After changing the o2 sensor, I just dragged a 5000# boat 35 miles & watched my gas guage move half as much as when I was not pulling anything behind me. Ill do a mpg check starting next tankfull, but im sure that my milage has damn near doubled.
