Gas Mileage?

im pretty sure im gonna get my head bitten off for repeating a thread or something, but ive been searching everywhere for some real hard info, and im wondering what kind of gas mileage everyone is seeing in the FD's and if its possible to get better gas mileage out of the 13B-REW without doing major modifications. So far someone suggested i replace the old O2 sensor and that some people have seen as much as 8 mpg better over their previous numbers after the replacement.

Any suggestions? Comments?

anything would be appreciated

Use the search feature, this thread will more then likely be locked. o2 sensor, fuel filter, spark plugs, fuel injector service maybe just gotta stay up on maintaining your vehicle!
Whats your MPG now?
I hope its not your only mode of transportation...
I never cared about mpg because its a sports car not a Prius...

you can see getting as much as 22mpg if you only drive the freeway at 55mph or you can see 9mpg if you floor it every chance you get. Everyone gets different mpg depending on how they drive. Sometimes during heavy boosting you will actually see the gas gauge go down right before your eyes. Sometimes after people change their o2, filter, etc. they tend to drive slower and baby their cars. That's probably why they see a hike in gas mileage which doesn't necessarily mean they will be getting that much mpg when thay start flooring it again.
