With gas prices @ $3.51 per gallon, I've already started catching the bus and I'm even considering selling my LS. I just changed spark plugs last weekend, some pretty clean denso plugs came out (just bought the car last nov.), the wires, cap and rotor looked pretty dirty though. The car pulls fine so im not suspecting theyre hurting the mpg, but I'm not interested in dumping money into this car unless I know theres a possiblility that I might be able to make at least 300 to the tank.

Any responces would be apperciated, Thanks!

Oh, I also fill up at Chevron if that makes any difference..
yes very noticeable in a good way, I commute an hour a day to work through the week and after changing the o2 sensors I used almost half as much fuel, (15 mpg to around 23 mpg on highway) and I still have this miss. As soon as some of this snow melts Im gonna try some of the recommendations stated earlier on this thread and see if I can improve it more.

i just replaced all four of my O2 sensors trying to nail down a exhaust problem and since have not noticed any significant improvement.

Dammit. My car spit out an CEL Code 21. My friend had an extra set of factory Densos, so I threw those in. 100 hundred miles later...CEL 25 pops up.

Seems like she wants those new pair of diamond earrings, doesn't she?
