I had not thought of replacing the O2 sensor until reading previous posts. I will be replacingthat next as mentioned in my original post.
I am using the recommended NGK plugs however a mechanic put the plugs in so I am unaware of how he gaped them. I will check it to be sure it is 1MM.
As for tires, they are never below 30psi. I currently have them at about 35psi. I also have a Tule on top with a fairing and during the summer there is usually a couple of Thule bike racks. Funny, the fairing was put on the car right before a trip and, again, I got worse mileage then right before. Everytime something gets done to this car the mileage drops. I filled up today, from a half tankand found that I now was getting about 16mpg. During the last two weeks the mileage went down drastically and has been creeping up VERY slowly. Within the last week I have not let the tank fall below half.
Does anyone know the recommended tire pressure for 225\50\16?
THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL THE HELP!
