I gotta think you'd want to run some Lubro Molly or Techroline through the
engine. If the O2 has been out of wack then there may be a bunch of carbon
and other kinds of build up to clean out.

Just got back from a 260+ mile round trip.

91 Octane (US method)
1.8 L with 4 into 1 header, cat.
Running late, drove an agressive 80-90 mph through SUV blocker traffic.
9.6 gallons used, Averaged 28.x MPG.

WoohOO!! Oops sorry. But see, when I 1st got the car, with its 1.7L, I was
getting 17mpg.
